I'm a 28 year-old acoustic singer/songwriter who is interested in marketing only original songs. I have about 14 completed songs that I play in public...some more than others, but I try to spread it around a bit. I throw in a handful of 90's alternative covers as well...but just for attention!

Influences
I listen to a lot of singer/songwriters from back in the 60's/70's. I try to borrow as much as I can from that genre (i.e: Simon & Garfunkle, James Taylor, Jim Croce) but I also infuse the songwriting with a modern style of guitar work and melody. I use a few more powerful chords and a little bit less fingerpicking than someone like James Taylor would.
EQUIPMENT
I own a Breedlove Focus acoustic. No amps, no pedals. Just a 1/4" cable ready to plug into the board!

This Time
This Time Track number: 1 Year: 2009 Album: Acoustic Demo Genre: Acoustic
This is one of two songs I recorded on a little 4 track in my friend's garage studio. It's nowhere near perfect, but you get an idea from here where I'm coming from.

From Tonight
From Tonight Track number: 2 Year: 2009 Album: Acoustic Demo Genre: Acoustic
Song #2 from the garage demo. This song was written for my best friend's wedding and performed at the ceremony. Again, not top quality, but an idea of where I'm coming from.
