The music posted on this site is a glimpse into my songwriting portfolio. I recorded tracks for the rhythm guitar and melody/harmony vocals in Scottie Palmer's "Frosty Mug Studio" (just before I moved to California). I hand-picked some of the finest accompaniment (and sweetest guys!) in Southern Illinois, who laid their studio tracks in my absence. They are:
Dan Goett on guitar, banjo and vocal harmony
Mark Stoffel on fiddle and mandolin
Bob Rosenstiel on that sweet upright bass
I am honored that these guys said "yes" to my studio invite and contributed such musical integrity to this project (even after I had moved so far away). So, we hope you enjoy the tracks. As demand continues to grow, I will make these songs available for purchase!
My favorite musical passion is to sing harmony with anyone, anywhere, anytime!!! To date, I have had the pleasure of contributing harmony vocals to the following releases:
1995 - Organic Rain – CD release titled “Dawning of the Day” (actually, we first released a casette tape, the CD came later)
1995 - Benefit Compilation - "Home Brewed" Recorded live at Cousin Andy's Coffee House, Carbondale, IL
2000 - Madcap – CD release titled “Into the Nebula”
2003 - Benefit Compilation - Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, Recorded live at Lou's Rocky Road Tavern in Okemah, OK
2005 - Benefit Compilation – “Rome Home to a Dome” Recorded in the Bucky Dome in Carbondale, IL Recorded by Mike Lescelius of Misunderstudio. Features a whole herd of talented Southern Illinois musicians and includes a surprise visit from Randy Crouch and Vince Herman (we blew the roof off of Carbondale that day!).
