The New York Session - Recorded in ... er... New York


EP recorded in New York last year at Lamppost Studios, Long Island ,
Influences: Misic - Billy Bragg, John Mayer, Tracy Chapman, Glenn Kaiser, Jeff Buckley, Sting, Mr Blobby... Who's reading this anyway? The Clash (seriously) and my 6 year old daughter who lets me know if my hairs looking OK. Then there's the heroes that influence my thinking. Martin Luther, Ghandi, Jesus (big style) ... coool I'm a Christian and without God my life would be nothing. I'm influenced by whatever I may be listening to at the time really. So you might get a touch of jazz, or classical or rock or reggea. I like to be fluid in this ....
Sounds Like: A skylark, a sweet experience of blended melodies that cause sintilating moments of tranquility and rock your brains out all in one luvelly movement. Luverlly.... Oh... that's not what you meant then. Just a frustrated rocker that's dabbled with folk but never inhaled. It depends as well whether I'm acoustic or with my trusty (cheap) Ibanez guitar - or with my sax. People have said I sound like David Gray. Man I hate that! Then, when you have an acoustic guitar they reckon you MUST be folk. NO NO NO NO NOOOO! Dave Matthews, tho nobody in the UK has ever heard of him. i DO NOT sound like Nick Drake either (Thank billy-o) Streuth. It's playing isn't it. You can listen can't you. THen that's what I sound like. :)
Record Label: You Seriously looked to see if I was signed?
Type of Label: None
