Nothing in the Dark
Dave and I met online in 2008, at a website design to create music in sort of a virtual studio. We first encountered each other on the websites forum, where Dave is currently a moderator, and things evolved from there. I had some health issues a year later and took some time off to get well, but Dave kept in touch and really helped me through a rough time. I came back to record I Woke up in your Dream, which was our first collaboration, and I believe the first time Dave had heard vocals with his music. We were both very happy with that song and continued to write together. Most of 2012 was again a hiatus for me, this time for personal reasons. During that time Dave continued to write and develop some production experience. He invited me in on Slow Song, a song for our troops, and almost a country ballad which was new to me. And Most recently we teamed up for The World I Know, which has done well in the charts but is a song we both felt was special from the onset. We plan on keeping the alliance as long as we're making good music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
See above band introduction
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do, but haven't in over a year, my lead guitarist developed cancer and had to leave the band, which left a gap and then the bass player who was commuting quite a distance decided to call it quits. I have been trying to put together the personnel to resume, but it's really a long and often difficult task. To find individuals that are like minded with the same goals and aspirations is hard. Band mates must be like family, so I continue to search. I love playing live, that is the ultimate rush for me. Playing your music for people to hear and hopefully relate with or enjoy is what it's all about. I'll play anything from a party to wherever as long as there are people willing to listen
