I’m not sure how to register this.
When you start following a singer songwriter and collecting his/her music, no matter how had you root for them, you never really expect them to hit the big time or be played widely on the radio, much less receive an Oscar nomination.
You expect them to just tour a lot and play small-to-medium shows to a specialized niche audience, doing well in relative obscurity and out of the limelight of Hollywood.
With all that being said, I am really happy for Ryan Bingham (who immediately became one of my favorite singer-songwriters this time last year) and his Dead Horses just for being nominated for this prestigious award, along with his winning two other major awards, and hope that more people discover his sound through the movie Brave Heart and the popularity he is receiving for his genuine talent.
Let’s hope he makes it to the stage if him and T Bone win it.
Congrats Ryan!!
