SEEKING

ABOUT

I get my enjoyment out of writing lyrics and putting them to music. It seems that the end result is an original song that is a blend of Americana, folk and country. This is a bit of a shift from the music I thought I'd want to write. Who knew?

Recently I've co-written some songs with a couple good friends who are well rounded musicians. Taking a concept and ending up with a good song is challenging and rewarding at the same time.

There are lots of people with some amazing unfinished song ideas that are just sitting on the shelf. This is where co-writing can help. Sometimes all you need is a different creative influence. Get in touch with me if you have some lyrics/songs that could use some help through co-writing.

I have to stay in my lane though. There are some genres that are way out of my comfort zone. Look me up if you're interested in co-writing.

Influences

I enjoy most styles of music and I'm pulled toward unique, high energy blues rock styles.

I'm a Bonamassa fan, Gary Moore was great!!! Hendrix, Alan Mirikitani RIP, SRV, Govt Mule, Warren Haynes, Albert Collins, Jonny Lange. All (and hundreds more artists) have some reworked and original music that are attention getters with great grooves.
