Welcome to my Soundclick page! I am a singer-songwriter from Saint Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A. The sound files linked on this page are my compositions. I recorded them myself on a digital workstation in my house. I am interested in soliciting feedback from the people who stumble upon them. Thanks for stopping by.
Why this name?
I didn't choose it, but I'm stuck with it, so I'll make the best of it!
Do you play live?
I play with a classic rock cover band called Funkwire. We experience the usual trials and tribulations associated with working in bars, but the three guys I work with are good people to hang out and play with. We have fun, play some good music, and make some extra scratch. It's all good...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Revolution, baby...it's going on right before our eyes.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hasn't been an issue thus far...but sure, why not? I know plenty of good lawyers who would be willing to look over any agreements for me!
Band History:
I started writing lyrics when I was 12, picked up guitar at age 16 so I could put music with my words. Starting playing in bars when I was 19, and here we are today...
Your influences?
Too many to list, really...but (deep breath) Beatles Stones Who Louis Armstrong Creedence Ray Charles Elvis Costello Duke Ellington Eric Clapton Booker T & the MGs Otis Redding Billie Holiday Frank Sinatra Jimi Hendrix Hank Williams SENIOR Roy Orbison Steely Dan B.B. King Van Morrison...
Favorite spot?
