And it feels like we're going nowhere...

About Me

I'm just a guy with a guitar in one hand and a pen in the other, scribbling frantic notes on the back of any piece of paper that I can find, writing love songs to the world one line of couplets at a time...
I'm just looking to see who's around, who wants to write, and who has the devotion to do it.
I'm by no means a vocalist. I'm by no means a pro at this. I've pretended to be both, and I'm just a guy who gets up there, and sings and plays from his heart. I feel that's all that you can ask from me, and that's all that I can give you.
Nowadays, after recording my new EP ("emergency EP"), I'm just sort of taking it easy and trying to finish what brought me to Orlando in the first place: school. I still do a bit of production work for basic demos if people need them, and I also co-write, open for other musicians, and record as a backing musician for those interested. I just do what I love when I have a chance... Of course, that all comes after time with my wife, cooking, and cuddling with our cats.
I'm also a bit of a guitar instructor. I take a simple and straightforward approach to the instrument more from the coach/personal trainer standpoint. If you're interested in lessons, let me know, and we'll work it out.
Drop me a line, though. I'm always up for a good chat with dedicated musicians or people who enjoy what they hear:
AOL: RunningBackToYou
Yahoo: StudlyZeke
MSN: [email protected]
Take care, and always keep trying so hard...
Also, of note... I am not the son of Leonard Cohen and I do not front the band Low Millions... If you're looking for that Adam Cohen, try the Low Millions myspace page: myspace.com/lowmillions
A while back, I disabled all adds by bands: Why, might you ask, especially seeing I'm a "band" myself? While I also have a personal myspace, it's really hard to keep people to one or another myspace. I use this myspace as my personal myspace more than my real personal one, so this is as much a personal account that I share my music with the world as it is a "band" one. I think that it's great that you're in a band, and I'm sure you've got a lot of heart and soul, but all too often we just senselessly add any and every music related individual to "build contacts" and the sort. If you haven't figured out by now in reading my profile and listening to my music, I'm not in this for some fame and fortune, and I'm not looking to get the contact.
Now, that's not me saying that I don't want to meet other musicians and gain those contacts. I appreciate you taking the time to seek me out and listening and deciding to add me. However, my days of "networking" and the like are over on the scene. If you honestly dig the music I like here and you do want to be listed as my friend, you'll take an extra second to tell me so through a message and I can add you back after we converse. Clicking the "Add Friend" button is so impersonal, tell me something first.
And the same goes for anyone who reads this: I'm a real person. I read and respond to messages, and I'm a social beast. Take a second and drop me a line, I'd appreciate it... And more often than not, I deny requests from people I don't know, and I find myself cleaning up my list every so often to get rid of those who I never hear from. Stay in touch, eh? I'll do the same. Thanks...

And its rare that I promote other bands so blatantly in my profile, but I've got to show my love for these guys. Head to iTunes and pick up their new album, "Conversations." Phenomenal rock release. Well worth it. So far my pick for one of the best albums of 2007. Don't take that lightly.

Of all of the things that crosses my mind, it's interesting to think of growing older and just moving on and always never looking back.This past weekend has been a good example of that. Out at Sarah'...

If I get enough feedback, there'll be some new music soon...

But, I need the feedback.  For me to put new songs/recordings/versions up, it takes me putting aside the time and the effort to get the recordings done.  Whenever it's new songs for a new EP...
