About Me

My writing started at 6, when I used to write simple stories that would always rhyme. Got into my first band at 15 , in W.Va... We never had a name , but all the guys were older than me and kept me around because I could hit the high notes . We played alot of Foreigner , and Styx... After moving to A.Z. at 16 , I joined a Band from our high school called Azmodeus...Singing at Parties ( Keggers ) and local bars that didn't I.D..... After joining the Army at 21, I sang in the Soldiers Show that toured on bases in California...... Since then , I have been lucky for the opportunty to write, sing and play with some very good musicians . Some, I still get together with when we can. The songs on this site , I Sing and play , Bass, Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Piano , and write and record all of my own music. It takes alot of time to do the one man band thing. So I have a few songs ,some are the full deal , some are just me and my accoustic and singing. All of these songs I have recorded at my Home Studio and are just Demos. Soldier Man is an accoustic tribute to our soldiers around the world , they all need our support, now more than ever. Freedom was an old song with Brad Darnell playing Electric guitars.. I have some new tunes on the way ...Thanx to everyone listening... .. .. .. .. .. ..

Band Members: There are three of us,... Me , Myself and I. ( Me), Is into perfection. So much that it really pisses (Myself) off. When (I) could be playing anything he wants. But together the three of us come together as one, and try to make it happen.
Influences: Way to many to mention. I believe every good song I have ever heard , from the 50's, to now ,is recorded in a file in my mind , just waiting to live a second life as an influence. Thats alot of tunes. Mainly Rock and Country and Blues.... Nickleback , Lenny, Clapton, , Kid Rock, Alan Jackson, and George Strait. Bach and Bethovan for their musical genius.
Sounds Like: AN ORIGINAL......In my opinion, most artists that sound like another artist, are always in the shadows of the original. RUSH - no one sounds like them, Chili Peppers, no one. Tom Petty, no one. The Police, The Cars, Junior Brown,......No one. I believe that if everyone tried to sound like everybody else , it would be a really shallow pool of styles. Elvis and the Beatles came out and blew the world away. Why? Because their songs were candy to the ears of a generation spoon fed Be- Bop and Sinatra. Originality is what has made the most popular bands of all time successfull , and I hope that the music I play sounds originally like Xander.
