There is a guy named Brent Starkey from Canada that used to play in Speakermind. They played the vigil a few times. Nel has mentioned him several times to me because she said when she heard him sing Shannon's songs, she had to leave the room and went outside and bawled because he was so much like Shannon in his sound and his movements......I wish I could have seen this guy but he hasn't been back to the vigil since then. I believe this was in 2004......was anyone else there a this time and what did you think? Wow - then this is the guy they should meet with - if he gives Nel that reaction - I'm good - thats all I need to hear...

Started today knowing the the three shows I had planned for this week were not going to be, and honestly the day sucked hard core. But I just knew that some kind of good news was going to be waiting for me when I got out of work. So glad to hear that this dark cloud has a silver lining. I cant wait to see new tour dates posted and make plans to meet up with other fans. Im so glad that the guys feel this way about the future. However, I disagree with Rogers when he says they want the chance to make something great, have a great show. Everyalbum is great and every show that I have been to has been amazing. You guys are truly something unique. Very rarely do fans have the chance to mingle with their musical heros. However, Melonheads do. You guys treat us like family and that is why we support you like family. You guys truly rock!

I think it'd be cool if the new singer was a chick with janis joplin's voice... just a thought

I just emailed Will, the lead singer of American Drag, about the BM opportunity. I am not sure how he would mesh with Blind Melon's style, but it would be interesting. However, his vocal style is more similar to Chris Robinson. Regardless, his audition may be wishful thinking because he is still in American Drag and last I heard they are close to releasing their second album. It would be interesting though. If he tells me he's interested, I'll let ya'll know.

What happened to Chris Shinn? He is so damn perfect for Blind Melon! I loved Unified Theory and always thought he would be perfect for Blind Melon!
I'm sure there will be a mess of killer singers out for the job! Wish I knew how to fucking sing?

This is great news! I wish the band all the best of luck in finding a new singer. As one who lives on the other side of the world (the ass-end, if you will) the thought that I might not get to see Blind Melon yet AGAIN was pretty devastating. My heart bled a little bit more each time I read about everyone's experiences in seeing the shows this year. The dream is alive again..... ;D

Rogers, I'm your guy! I'm your age, I'm cool and still fairly cool look'in. I'm witty but not nit witty !! One problem, I don't think I can sing,and oh yeah I'm shy. Best of luck in your search!
