BeatCrave Fav: A.C. Newman
When the frontman of The New Pornographers became a solo artist and emerged in 2004 with his debut album “Slow Wonder,” he probably didn’t expect to get as big in the music industry as he really did.
Allen Carl Newman, also known as A.C. Newman, blends a variety of instruments with his voice to create a soulful representation of various topics. He’s been compared to Ray Davies, Harry Nilsson, and Ben Folds, and has cited Brian Wilson and Burt Bacharach as influences.
