Recognize this silhouette? You might if you had been to Feist's shadow-intensive show this past Sunday at the Academy of Music. The evening opened with Hayden, a Canadian modern-day Dylan with a little less angst. His one-man show packed in great virtuosity on all three instruments: guitar, harmonica, and piano. His songs demonstrate a strange, but honest and often humorous, viewpoint on the world. His stage banter was also top-notch, joking after a little......

D-Mac called it "indie lounge music," and when they weren't banging that tribal drum,......
