"K Road" is not really a band; its just one person - me.
My musical interest lays in an area best described as jazz/pop. I attempt to create a more sophisticated kind of popular music to appeal to a more mature audience. I write original music and also, as with most aspiring jazzers, add my signature to standards. For reasons of copyright, only my original compositions have been posted here. I record by myself and occasionally with other musicians, depending on the instruments I would like to feature. I am a guitarist, vocalist and bass player. I have recorded professionally. Some early four track analogue recordings appear here, together with my more recent material.

Currently song writing and recording material for next CDHave you performed in front of an audience?I seldom play live these days since it invariably requires a lot of effort - transporting gear, setting up gear, sound checks, more transporting gear, getting home very late, smelling of cigarette smoke, etc, etc. This has little to do with what I enjoy about music .
