Member Since: 01/09/2006
Band Members: THE BAND: A work in Progress-Please stay tuned. BIO? Here's a bit about what I've been doing as of late Although performing and writing just a few years, I have already amassed over 120 songs, with dozens more in various stages of completion. I've appeared live on public and community radio shows, and earlier this year, on my first try, earned an honorable mention in the Great American Song contest, one of the largest competitions of its kind-very cool, I thought! My songs weld the elements of literate content and expressive musical phrasing in a soulful and emotive style, influenced by many musical genres. My songs are stories, love songs, upbeat, "life-recovery" songs; & political commentary jams. Sometimes, they are just "ride in the car sing-along" tunes with a hook.

My songs are inspired by the honesty of Lucinda Williams, the rebelliousness of Steve Earle, the populism of Bruce Springsteen, the sensitivity of Jackson Browne, the poetry of Paul Simon, the angst of REM, the energy of Bob Schneider, the pop sensibility of Ryan Adams and the grungicana of Neil Young.
