Produce Aisle Playlist

You probably heard Duncan Sheik every time you shopped for groceries in 1997. The Peter Gabriel-ish singer-songwriter's unavoidable lite-pop single "Barely Breathing" became the Broadcast Music Incorporated-certified "Most Played Song of the Year." Although he hasn't scored another hit, Sheik has remained hard at work - recording four subsequent albums, doing his share of B-list celebrity charity work and scoring mild dramas such as A Home at the End of the World - all the while maintaining a modest fan base. Sheik's tourmate Vienna Teng is a similarly tranquil folkie. When the software-engineer-turned-songstress takes the stage, will the crowd max out on mellow by the time Sheik hits his groove? Doubtful: Mellow is par for the course for Sheik's fans, and Teng is a total Buddhist hottie.
