One of Northern California’s brightest singer/songwriters, the openly gay Sacramento native’s fourth studio album, Best of Intentions, frequently calls to mind Counting Crows. A man, his voice and piano, Putnam’s emotional lyrics and impassioned delivery are ready for a national fan base. Treading between pop and inspiration, with a shot of theatricality, Putnam is at his best on cuts like “Lyin’” and “Jeremiah.” Available through iTunes and PhilPutnam.com, gay music fans can support one their own.

Buy.
