In an effort to get my music out into the world and to hone my writing practice, I'm starting a Song-A-Week project I'll attempt to release one brand new song per week for a year, starting today, Sunday, May 14th, 2006, and continuing through Sunday, May 13, 2007. Traditionally I, like most people, have written about love and sex — attraction, frustration, satisfaction, the works. As evidenced by the first song in my new series (about a job interview for a lame job), I'm trying to break out of this mold a bit more with my new series of songs... that said, I remain ever myself, and surely there will be more songs about love and whatnot.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I haven't played live in some time but hope to get back into the swing of things with my new project. I have played live as a solo folky act and as part of blues and rock bands -- it's a great time.
Your musical influences
I listen to a great deal of everything. When I first started playing music, I listened to a great deal of blues -- the great harp players like Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, and James Cotton, and the great songsters like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. More recently, Greg Brown is a great influence on me, as are Peter Mulvey, Erin McKeown (who I knew in college), and, for song writing, the Magnetic Fields.
What equipment do you use?
Taylor Guitar, Hohner harmonicas (mostly Meisterklass), Fostex digital 4 track, ubuntu/linux computer with audacity for mixing.
