Artist description I'm a solo singer/songwriter guitarist, playing for over 20 years. I'm 37 and write, record and produce my own material. I also perform on all of the instrument tracks and vocals. I play bass, rhythm guitars, lead guitars, drums and keyboards. Right now I'm dreaming of finding a record label dumb enough to be willing to invest in my music. I'm also wanting to be able to license my music for commercial use such as advertising, movies and television.

Music Style Pop Rock, Blues, Jazz

Musical Influences Beatles, Steely Dan, Dire Straits, Joni Mitchell, Yes, Larry Carlton, Phil Keaggy....basically everybody has influenced me in some way

Similar Artists My musical style is so diverse that it's hard to pin it down, as you listen to my music, you tell me who I sound like

Artist History I started playing guitars in 1974 and by 1976 in middle school I was playing in a high school band as their bass player. I played guitars through high school and into college where I majored in music & religion thinking I might go into contemporary christian rock in the early 80s. I have been playing, writing and performing all kinds of music for over 20 years. Recently, at 42, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and so I've decided to make one last gasp at the dream of somehow reinventing my life by making a living writing, recording and performing music. I own a recording studio in my house and so I'm utilizing that to track out about 14 tunes to promote. I'm am desperately hoping that in some way I can reinvent myself to be able to make a living writing, recording, licensing and performing. My styles range from Mark Knofler to Earle Klugh to contemporary artists, it just really runs the gamut because I like to write and record just about everything.

Additional Info I DARE any record label to be stupid enough to sign me!
