About Me

Hey People,nice to meet you here in Cyber Space. Well here's the deal. I'm an English man writing country songs in Nashville. That's it in a nut shell, but if you want to know more about this nut then read on. I've been in and out of bands since I was 16 and in the 80's back in the UK Chris Difford from UK Brit Pop band Squeeze showed some interest but it never came to anything. I've also been involved with some artist development projects along the way. Since then I've fallen in love with country music and recently I was lucky enough to be asked to play on ace Nashville songwriter Rivers Rutherford's UK tour, which was an amazing experience. Rivers encouraged me to come out to Nashville and pursue a career in songwriting after hearing me play. So here I am with all my song writing brothers and sisters hoping that I can learn something from some of the best song writers in the world. I also have a band in my home town of Sheffield UK called Calico Fever. We've opened for the likes of Andy Fairweather Low and Dan Baird. I hope that you like my songs. All these demos have been recorded at Studio A in Hendersonville Nashville, and have been touched by the magic of some great co-writers, musicians and singers. Thanks for listening, it's much appreciated :0)
