Band Members: Michael Webb on piano, B3, accordion and anything else with keys...any combination of our uber-talented friends on everything else. I'm allowed the random appearance on backup vocals, whistle, rain stick, frog, hand claps and....kazoo (I've had the last laugh, though, since that one got me a thumbs up from Rolling Stone, no lie!)
Influences: Jimmy Dean (my very first record and musician crush), Elton John (injured a hip during a handspring-to-splits incident fueled by Elderberry Wine ), Vincent Van Gogh, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Bee Gees, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Beethoven, Roadmaster, Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bob Seeger, The Steve Miller Band, Dan Fogelberg, George Jones, Ricki Lee Jones, Franz Liszt, Michelangelo, Winslow Homer, Don MacLean, Pure Prairie League, America, Felice & Boudleaux Bryant, Robert Shumann, Eugene Delacroix, John Singer Sargent, Dolly Parton, Jim Croce, John Denver, Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Three Dog Night, Loretta Lynn, Simon & Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow, Randy Travis, Nick Lowe, Bonnie Raitt, The Subdudes, Tom Petty, Neil Diamond, Hector Berlioz, Picasso, Rembrandt, El Greco, Patty Griffin, Lyle Lovett, Joan Osborne, Julio Iglesias, The Jackson Five, anything in the standard church hymnal (not the new-fangled stuff), my dad's mean boogie woogie piano...Fugitive Glue!
Sounds Like: Anyone BUT me, hopefully! You decide if I sing flat or sharp (or some of each)? A little ProTools help here?!?! I'm going to do y'all the favor of letting real singers render my little tunes except Road Widow's Lament. You're going to have to put up with me singing that one...I think I've earned it.
Record Label: You can't be serious!
