What an interesting collection of songs you’ve voted into the Top 20 this month! Not a single radio-based celebrity with the exception of John Denver at no. 6, a much underrated songwriter if I do say so myself. A couple of brand new Acoustic Pie artists made the list, both great: Rachel Garlin at no. 4 and Putnam Smith at no. 5. And a bunch of San Diego artists are here including two songs from one of my local favorites Nathan Welden at no. 8 & 14. The other wonderful San Diego songwriters on the list are Berkley Hart (no. 9) and John McGaraghan (no. 16).
Thanks for voting and thanks for listening to the Pie!
