I'm a lyricist and I write Country, Contemporary and Roots Rock lyrics, but some of my work could be an easy crossover to Rock. Some of my songs are up-tempo roadhouse flavor, some are "she done me wrong" ballads and the rest are somewhere in between. I write primarily from a male perspective but also try to write lyrics that are gender neutral and can be sung from either side of the fence. I recently completed lyrics for two songs to be performed by a female vocalist with a strong, rockin' kind of voice.
