Jamie MacDowell

Close your eyes and Jamie MacDowell sounds like a full band. Open them and it's one person at a set of drum pads, playing the drums, bass, piano and guitar parts live and singing on top. Watching him do it is half the show. The music is pop, soul and funk, played with real attention to groove and phrasing, so it has the feel of a live band rather than a backing track. For a party or a bar that wants a spectacle and a groove at once, he's a clever one-person option to put in the corner.
