Albums
I have been playing music, ( covers and my own ) for a living most of my life. About 10 years ago I moved to Nashville, TN to pursue a songwriting career only to find I was too country. I played the clubs and honkey tonks around Nashville and down on Lower Broadway for about 2 years until I decided to buy a home here and had to take a regular job to satisfy the bank. Now circumstances beyond my control have given me a lot of free time, so after an 8 year hiatis here I am again, promoting my songs and my music.
I just released a new album called " 15 Years later ", and started reintroducing my first album called " Thanks For The Memories"
You'll find some of my songs are very traditional sounding, and some are geared a little more to the sounds of today, within limits. I don't write pop or rock and roll country. I try to write songs that are uplifting in nature, have a good beat, evoke emotion, songs that stick in your head, and you can't get them out, that the words are easy to remember, that you can actually hear, and want to sing a long with. I have found if you do that, you will always have an audience .Have you performed in front of an audience?I will be doing some songwriter nights here shortly, But I haven't put a band together at this time. I love to perform and be on the stage, to me it's home. My most recent special moment is haveing my song " Don't Hold On To A Memory " picked up by an internet Radio station called Ram Radio, and having it make it's radio debute at #1 the very first week it was played. That was pretty special.
Your musical influences
My music influences are the early traditional country artists like Faron Young, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty,to mention a few, along with George Strait. I might add I have a few favorites in the old rock and roll genre also.What equipment do you use?
I use Cakewalk as a software recording program, I have a Boss, BR-1600 Digital recording studio, I have 2 electric accoustic guitars, a Fender, an LTD, and an old Univox, electric guitars, a Roland Juno-g keyboard, an alesis SR-16 drum Machine, a set of Pearl drums, Zildja cymbals, nd I use Shure mics, XML condensor mics, and a peavy PA system.Anything else?
