Musical Stereotypes # 11 - Check Shirt Jamie

Check shirt Jamie sings soppy songs about ex girlfriends and how they screwed him over in favour of better looking guys.  He never stands and strums, he always sits and picks - and he listens to folk, americana (that's pc for country) and the blues.  He is also a fan of Mumford and Sons (who aren't really any of the above).  His check shirt is from Super Dry (a present from his ex before she dumped him) but it might also be from Top Man or River Island - as long as it looks like its from Super Dry.  He has tried growing a beard, but so far without success.  Most of his songs use variations on Bm and Gm, with a very occasional cheerful major. 

You'll likely see Jamie frequenting the many candle lit open mics up and down this land.  His main aim at this time is to form a band that is willing to play his songs (and maybe a few covers), but he's been struggling to find the 'right' musicians.  They keep leaving him because of musical differences - the main one being that his music is so depressing.  As a result, he is now writing songs about about ex band members and how they screwed him over in favour of better bands.
