About Me

My song catalog consists mostly of COUNTRY music, but features pop, bluegrass, rap, holiday, and graduation tunes, as well.I am happily married, have 2 children ages 30 and 28, and one granddaughter, age 9.As a songwriter, and owner of Redhound '76 Publishing, I am affiliated with BMI of Nashville, Tennessee. My first music project was a song I released about my hometown, Corbin, Kentucky. In 2005, I became a member of the Nashville Songwriters Association (NSAI), which is one of the best things I ever did.I'd like to acknowledge the wonderful studio work on my demos by John Gardner of Fine Tune Recording Studio, Frank Michels of Frank's Nashville Demos, Richard Porter of Classic Recording, John Matheson of Matheson Sound Tech Recording, Steve Bodner of Sweetsong Productions, and David Burton of Mama's Tater Room Recording.That's all for now...hope you'll take a listen to my tunes. I always appreciate feedback....so please tell me what you think. If you'd like to hear some of my other songs, just email me and ask!OH YES...I HAVE A NEW ONLINE STORE, please check it out at www.periwinklesage.com. It's sort of an online garage sale! You can order my music from there, too.Thanks for stopping by My Space! And as they say at NSAI -"It all begins with a song".

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 27/08/2007
Band Website: http://www.myspace.com/debrayoungredhound76
Band Members: A group of songwriting females that became quick friends hatched a brilliant idea...the band was called SheNanigans and debuted on April 22, 2008. The core members were rhodyjane meadows, Melody Perez, Steph Schaffner, and myself. We were blessed to have Amy Michels, Marcianne O'Day, and Marla Edwards join us a few times. All of these women are skilled musicians, singers, songwriters, and performers and I have been in awe of their talent ever since I met them. I'm just a songwriter, and I will always be grateful they let me tag along. Our little band was short-lived, but for that brief time, I had a blast!
Influences: I am one of those people who truly enjoys all genres of music. My favorites include The Eagles, Bill Monroe, The Osborne Brothers, ELVIS, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Prince, Rod Stewart, Heart, Dean Martin, America, and Kay Kyser to name a few. As for songwriters...Hugh Prestwood, Don Henry, rhodyjane meadows, Roger Fair, Kimmie Rhodes, for a start. I have a huge collection of 45's, 78's, LPs, cassettes, CDs, and music videos that I listen to daily. Music is such a huge part of my life....it makes life worth living.
Sounds Like: No one in particular. Anyone can take a song, make it their own, and ta dah! Uniqueness! Bliss! Almost any song can cross all genres when an artist or musician brands it with his/her own special style. So my songs sound like "YOU"!This link goes to my SonicBids Profile...more music...

Record Label: Don't reckon I have one...do I need one? :p
