If you enjoy contemporary soft-rock, with a dash of Country here and there, you've come to the right place. I've uploaded two original songs from each of my two CDs. If you like what you hear, you can listen to any of my songs at www.sunsetmusic.com
I was influenced by all the classic musicians we all grew up with. In the town where I went to high school, we hung out at the Commodore Ballroom. In the forties and fifties, it featured live big band music. Then, during the sixties and seventies, the owner started booking rock acts like: Jeff Beck with Rod Stewart, the Cream, Vanilla Fudge, and on and on. Me and the boys saw them all, from about four feet in front of the stage. Or... We saw Led Zeppelin at the beach, and James Taylor at the college. We didn’t know how lucky we were. Just another Saturday night, right?
I’m still a huge fan of rock and roll guitar music (you’ve got to see Eric Clapton’s “Crossroads Guitar Festival” DVD), but I tend to write what I feel comfortable singing. And that, we’ll have to blame on my mother. She played Johnny Mathis records non stop when I was a toddler.
My appreciation for country music came a little later. I drove trucks for a while, and I just loved it. I heard a lot of country music out on the road. I can’t resist it. The lyrics are clever, and the guitar playing is just breathtaking. I like telling stories, so I'll always be working on a new truck driving song. By the way, I recently saw Vince Gill live, and you owe it to yourself to do the same.
Anyway, I hope you heard something you like here. If it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, you may want to pick up my CD’s for your favorite aunt. Mine loves them !!!
Take care, and email me anytime.
