My mission is to avoid being constrained by narrowly defined marketing labels. I'm a studio rat with a fairly open mind about various styles of music," Beckord says. "My goal is for the guy stocking shelves at the corner CD store to be unsure exactly where to put my CDs."
Principally a singer, guitarist, and bassist, Beckord would prefer to be noted for his songwriting. "There are scads of great players and singers out there trying to find an audience," Beckord notes. "But good songwriting is harder to find."
Beckord's songs draw on elements of power pop, blues, progressive rock, jazz, and funk. "If songs were described as flavors, I hope listeners come to appreciate the way I combine spicy and mellow, salty and sweet," Beckord explains. "Too much popular music is a one-course meal."
Dinner is served and it sounds like a buffet.
