My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/21/2006
Band Website: myspace.com/tez1211
Band Members: I play with several guitar players and sit in with friends. If you are checking this out to book gigs, call me for my other "friend's" websites because I change my guitar/key players around a good bit.Some say I sound like Jennifer Nettles. Here is a beautiful song before she landed in the band, Sugarland in Atlanta...."The Awakening"......All I wanted to do was sing "Stay" by Sugarland until I found this. "Stay" is a crowd pleaser at gigs but this one is one of my favorties on the keys.....!I love Sarah's version so much better than Keith Urban's....she wrote it and he bought it and cut it on his latest album. This song is a hit when a woman sings it! I love to include it on my set list.I love Eva Cassidy's version of this song as well. I've sung this at mellow gigs.....What would we do without friends? "No one is a failure who has friends! Thanks for the wings." ~Clarence in It's A Wonderful Life~
Influences: Beth Hart from Los Angeles, CA--"L.A. Song". She is an idol of mine and has a new record out "37 Days". She is the Janis Joplin of today and very popular in the Netherlands. Her DVD, "LIVE IN PARADISO" is the BEST!And one more for.....the paper bag. Fiona gets it!
Sounds Like: Me, a gospel singer, country singer or....ME!Or maybe a few others?Sugarland-"Genevieve"Kate Voegele-"Hallelujah" (Cohen's version)
Type of Label: Unsigned
