ABOUT

Singer/songwriter forming fun music experience.
Have an album's worth of material to start with and more to come. I have worked with a lot of awesome musicians from beginners to pros and not worried about the level of skill as much as creativeness and chemistry but we do want to sound good and have fun doing it. Looking for more of an edgy electric/acoustic rock sound with various style accents. Need musicians to play various rock style covers from 60s to present, incorporating original material. We want to engage the audience and entice them to get up and dance. Goal is to make the experience a monthly gig to start then hopefully a weekly show.

Audio is a sample of what the experience could sound like. Dance beat leading in and out of live band performances. Cover tunes 60s - Beatles 'Please, Please Me', 70s - Golden Earring 'Radar Love', 80s - B52s 'Love Shack', 90s - Foo Fighters 'Everlong' and 2000s - Wolf Alice 'Giant Peach'. Two originals swirled into the mix as well.

Come on. It will be an adventure.

Sample Cover Tunes:
Please, Please Me - Beatles
Baby Driver - Simon & Garfunkel
Radar Love - Golden Earring
Mambo Sun - T-Rex
White Wedding - Billy Idol
Can't Get There From Here - REM
Everlong - Foo Fighters
Ready to Go - Republica
Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
Bohemian Like You - Dandy Warhols
Giant Peach - Wolf Alice
