I'm a singer songwriter releasing an independent album entitled "Off-Centered"
It's basically an observation of my life experience, the high and low points of love and relationships as well as my take on how off centered the world can seem at times.
I'm writing, arranging, performing, and recording the music on this album in an attempt to capture some decent acoustic performances and release some demo songs (including bass, drums, and various ear candy) to give an idea of the direction I'm taking ... I believe releasing an independent CD will give me a chance to have something to sell at shows and on the internet so I can stay as a working musician, and also have some demo's I can shop around to various record companies.
I really hope everyone enjoys the direction I'm taking my music and if ya like it, tell a friend. If you don't like it, you never heard of me! ;) heh hehBand/artist history
I've been playing for quite a few years but it wasn't until some time in 2003 that I actually started to record my music.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere... with free drinks as a prerequisite of course :-)
Your musical influences
Sting, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Brian Mcknight, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, U2, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray VaughanAnything else?
I'm always up for giving or receiving encouragement since it seems hard to come by in life. I've certainly felt that as a musican. Even your own family and friends at times can make you feel it's an impossible dream... Though I'm quite blessed to have parents that believe in me. I understand the risk of trying to make it as a musican because a lot of us grow up hearing that success is equated in some aspect to titles. By that I mean there are people who decided to be a lawyer, doctor, or [insert successful sounding title here]and that's fine if it's what they want to really do... For me though, I've never stived for any of those things and the title alone of being able to say "I'm a lawyer" or "I'm Dr Reed" is certainly not enough for me to pursue a career in that. There is a quote by a man named Cornel West who said "You must aspire for greatness... Not just success" and that is how I try to live my life.

Hmmmm.....guess I'm "Tall" a little bit more than I'd like to be, but I really love how you say it in this song, makes me feel better about it all! Terrific lyrics and really love your voice, very expressive and soulful! Nice guitar playing as well. 5 stars all the way. Look forward to making it back to hear more again, take care and keep on keepin on! ;)

I really appreciate it
Tam..
Have my new song "ROCK IS MY ROOTS" Id love if you had some time to take a listen to my new song. I also resang with my new producer JINTING in the studio and she made me sound awsome no bad notes on "IF I BELIEVE" " DEAR JIMMY" " THE TREES" so if you have time listen to the new updated versions of the song.
I am just copying and pasting this message to people already on my message board. Just a quick update :) of my album. Currently I am recutting everything and writting new material and getting new players to add lap steele, and much more. So take a listen. and if you have some new stuff ill take a listen to yours as well.
Thanks Tam, I'm strongly considering doing a fully produced version of "Tall" but I have a lot of new songs that I've been working on so I'd like to record a few of them at once and get out a new demo and make up a decent press kit. So it's probably gonna be a few months before I get into the actual recording of the new stuff. Thanks again, btw "Your Life" has some nice guitar work on it :-)
