Hungry Ear Coffee House

We're The Hungry Ear and We Approve This Message!


Jeff Silver: When you listen to Jeff, you hear a swampy blues rocker one minute and a haunting ballad with soaring melodies the next. He's developed a unique guitar style that surprises you with unexpected grooves and chords that perfectly compliment his personal and powerful lyrics. Silver's is a "grown up" voice that's been influenced by everyone from The Beatles and James Taylor to Sting and Steely Dan, but he cooks up a satisfying stew that definitely has a flavor all its own. http://www.reverbnation.com/jeffsilver

Danica Alexander is a sultry and sweet jazz singer who enjoys taking old classics and standards that have been thrown by the wayside and giving them a modern Jazz flare. Her main vocal influences would have to be the greats, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, and Linda Ronstadt along with contemporary artists such as Amy Winehouse and Nora Jones. She is a passionate singer who was born fifty years too late. She is planning to move to Italy for the next two years to study vocal performance and history. She would love to open her own cafe and music venue in Italy some day and spend some time traveling around Europe in Jazz bands. 

David Leonard:  He can play dobro (acoustic resonating guitar), piano, keyboard, electric bass, drums, mandolin and even organ. He was first a performing musician and songwriter, then into studio work as both a musician and producer. Moving to Nashville he placed two of his songs with national country artists – Some Kinda Woman, for Linda Davis, and Taking Our Own Sweet Time, featured on The Kinleys' debut album. In Atlanta, he's written music for the PBS children’s series, “The Reppies,’ and founded his own company, Reveal Audio Services - an independent production house for songwriters, vocalists, and solo artists. 

Jim McCaffrey: Jim is another fine local singer/songwriter with 6 independently produced CDs. He's been singing and writing songs since he was 17 and is well known and loved in the Atlanta area. His latest video Sauce is from his most recent CD Rosalie's Night Out: Rock Songs From a New York Love . You'll hear the influence of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Westerberg.
