However, pressure is a trait far from his persona. He is as smooth and as gentle in person as in his music. Originally from Georgia, Mainwaring has 'brought to the big bad city his own brand of soulful folk rock, with influences ranging from the Beatles to REM. In fact, he has a new album out, Blue, which is nothing less than ex traordinary.
