About Me

Hello I’m Damien Short. I am a singer/songwriter in Phoenix, Arizona. I am currently working on trying to get my first album together, and start doing more shows. I have two studio recordings and three videos posted at this time. I hope to have more songs on my profile soon for everyone to hear. My style is a blend of Rock, Country, and Blues. My biggest influences are Johnny Cash, and Eric Clapton. I perform a lot of Johnny Cash tunes as well as some originals. Right now I’m keeping everything very simple. All the videos are just me playing acoustic songs in my room. I am self-promoting my music, and run this page myself. I hope you enjoy the music, thanks for listening!
