Artist description I'm a music educator and string specialist from Coon Rapids, Minnesota. I teach students to play stringed instruments and become better musicians. I have a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Music and Business and will obtain my Masters in Music Education. I played in my own band for many years so I feel I've paid my dues. Music is my passion and I love to share the knowledge.

Musical Influences My musical influences include: The Ventures, Duane Eddy, Don Rich ( of Bucks Owens Buckarros), George Benson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Issac Stern, Jim Reeves, Roy Orbison and others.

Similar Artists I would say that I sound like a combination of my musical influences. I've used what I learned from them to create my own style.

Press Reviews The "Tryin' To Make A Buck" CD is filled with more than half a dozern original contrapuntal compositions. The CD incorporates real-life adventures, tensions, quandries, tempos, anxieties, and celebrations of life. It's an eclectic mix of music. The title song, "Tryin' To Make A Buck",which focuses on the daily stress of everyday living, carries an upbeat tempo. "The Mighty Red River," a piece that was written based on the 1997 Midwest flooding, is "full of hope;" "Up North" describes the freedom of escaping the tensions of everyday life in the city with a weekend retreat to the cabin. Newmann produced, wrote all the music and lyrics, performed on guitar, vocals, steel guitar, fiddle, Five-string banjo and dobro. "Tryin To Make A Buck" is one original piece of recorded entertainment and the targeted audience is as eclectic as the music. "Tryin' To Make A Buck" is for everybody. There's something for young folks, adults, lovers.....there's something for everyone.
