Artist History Nearly everyone who's ever known me will admit up that I always have something to say, and often don't know when to stop talking. Well they can rest assured that with songwriting as a new outlet in the past year or so, some of that bitterness has been channelled into collaborations with members of Scottish band Unquiet. The frilly remainders can be heard here. Having fought so hard to leave a small-town dedication to country music behind me, I found that basic melodies (3 chords!), lyrical clichés, and steady acoustic strumming (even on a sparkly electric guitar) are the foundations upon which I continue to tell musical stories. So here's me not fighting it. Many of these songs have materialized as a result of poems written several years ago in an effort to figure out my f***ed up life at the time. Those pages of bitter introspective material became some raucous, spewed-out songs with alt-rock band Unquiet (mentioned above). Everything we did in this past year just gelled. It was fate meeting John, Norma, and Eileen, and without the union there'd be no album to push - yes they're for sale, go and hear us via the links section. Anyway, in the down time to rehearsing, writing, gigging and recording with the band, a lot of new material plowed its way to the forefront. In several sessions in John's (Phillips, guitarist for Unquiet) comfy music/recording room, we managed to turn these ideas into complete songs that we are ready to release onto the general public. With my vocal focus and John's concentration on guitar melodies and riffs, some of the results truly were effortless. On more than one occasion we'd come together with incomplete ideas that somehow fit perfectly together. And with the miracle of technology we hope to continue writing together from opposite ends of the world. At least until the Unquiet album ('After the Flood') makes us famous and gives us copious amounts of flight money and expensive recording equipment. Until then, enjoy us in the raw!!!
