Artist description Listening to 50 Cent Haircut is like visiting a new place which some how feels like a homecoming. Classic and richly toned tube and slide guitars, whisky soaked vocals, and timeless melodies stick in your craw for days and days. Like Hank Williams slapping The Beatles on the back over a few beers... Syd Barrett is the bartender, Johnny Cash is working the door, and XTC is on the juke-box.

Artist History In December of 1998, five LA musicians were practicing regularly at a garage on a dodgy Venice street. When the barbershop around the corner began advertising "50 cent haircuts," the fledgling band knew it had found its name. The phrase encapsulates the band's attitude toward music. Songwriter, Jay Souza notes "A song has to be able to stand on its own with a single voice and a single instrument, and if it can't do that, then it's not really a great song. We had vowed to only do songs that can be presented in that way. We thought the name 50 Cent Haircut suited that ideal." For more info look us up at MusicBlitz.com.
