About
Hello, all.
The name's August, and I'm available for the right project. My last band, Devil's Nite, played all over the country in the late 90's and throughout the start of the new millenium, and opened for countless national acts.
As far as skillsets go, I'm classically trained and have a four octave range. I'm not only a singer, but a prolific songwriter and lyricist, so I have that to offer as well; my personal take is the more talent the group has as a whole, the more impressive the final results will be, to the fans and the labels.
If you'd like to hear a sampling of my work, you can go to http://www.myspace.com/musicofaugust or http://xuwee.com/profile/August and check out the songs there. Every instrument on there was played by me and recorded using SONAR on my computer. No fancy rigs and just a Shure mic to lay down the tracks, so don't expect to hear the production values of Hysteria. If you can hear the forest through the trees, we're halfway there.
If you have a project that you think I'd be right for, don't hesitate to contact me, either by e-mailing at MusicOfAugust@, or by calling me at (603)401-1477.
Regardless of what you choose, thanks for checking this out. Peace.
Influences
My vocal influences include Ray Gillen, Tony Harnell, Geoff Tate, David Coverdale, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon and so many others that I couldn't possibly list them all here. In terms of songwriting, I tend to bring a very melodic approach, which complements a heavier project well, rounding the overall end result with a more commercial, radio friendly sound; my songwriting influences include the Beatles, Queen, Enuff Z'Nuff, Jellyfish, Badlands, Kiss, Lenny Kravitz. Think melodic sensibilities with a crushing guitar approach.
Equipment List
A Shure SM-57 and a mean set of pipes.
