Oakland based singer songwriter Curt Yagi has been on a tear through the Bay Area music scene. The 2008 Best of the Bay Singer Songwriter (SF Bay Guardian) and RAW San Francisco Musician of the Year had his song "Sweep Me" included on the very popular KFOG Local Scene 8 CD in the Bay Area. His songs are delivered in an inimitable and endearingly charismatic persona the SFBG describes as the swagger of Lenny Kravitz and the lyrical prowess of Jack Johnson, and The San Francisco Chronicle called Yagi a talented songwriter who sings -- like Kenny Loggins.
Best of all, Ben Fong-Torres, former Senior Editor, Rolling Stone had this to say, "People keep comparing him to other artists, but I think he just sounds like Curt Yagi, and that is plenty good enough. This is one excellent singer and songwriter."
