About Me

I'm a guitar player and singer from Antwerp (Belgium) - been writing songs for a couple years but I've only recently decided to start a band and record the songs and play them live. Stanton is the name of the band, and there's 5 of the songs on this space. When listening to our music it'll be clear who the influences are. If in doubt: check the list on the left.

Listening to these albums a lot at the moment:

'Leave the Light On', Chris Smither
'Evening Call', Greg Brown
'Tell Talle Signs', Bob Dylan
'An untamed Sense of Control' Roscoe Holcombe
'Travel Log', JJ Cale
'Another Black Feather for the Wings of a Sinner', Dayna Kurtz
