Brent Cash

Athens, GA-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Brent Cash began his musical career as a drummer (beating the skins for such diverse acts as <a href="spotify:artist:7zNUtStlXD4zDyw1JcqD3D">Television Buzz</a> and the Mike Guthrie Band). Drumming may have been his thing at the time but, behind the scenes, Cash was cooking up some sunshine pop-inspired gems at home. For a while, the odd cassette was handed out to friends, but it wasn't until the mid-2000s that Cash began to pursue higher aspirations. Enlisting the recording talents of Andy Baker (<a href="spotify:artist:0sjShUAIZ8A5b6YhYHB2A0">Japancakes</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7aILiJyQjfGVwFrNATuCU6">Jucifer</a>), Cash set out to produce an album that was as close as he could get to the sonic fingerprint of his '60s and '70s pop/rock idols -- and he did so, marvelously, on his official debut, How Will I Know If I'm Awake. Released in 2008 on Marina Records (home to <a href="spotify:artist:3LMbBNkcscWjRZr0TrqHMT">the Pearlfishers</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3pUiNPLwDNM46B8BdRspFW">Shack</a>, and reissuers of <a href="spotify:artist:4nymPwNq7Y6i1tVs1d9WVB">the Free Design</a>), How Will I Know If I'm Awake garnered a whole slew of positive reviews from the likes of Q, Uncut, and Rolling Stone (Germany). ~ J.
