I love playing guitar and writing songs. I took a break from the industry to finish college and to start a family, but now that my children have grown up, I am looking to get more involved with songwriting and recording.
I've uploaded some instrumentals from my 2014 "Freedom" CD. I've also uploaded tracks from my "I Love My Cat's Meow" CD. This second group of tunes have both lyrics and vocals, and were actually recorded in the early 1980s. Given the new-found popularity of 80's music, my song "Can't You See The World Through My Eyes" from this second group of tunes was recently used on Season 2 of the Netflix show "GLOW".
I'm interested in writing, recording and pitching songs to music supervisors for TV and movie soundtracks, so if you have that passion (and are actively working in the space and want to collaborate), please reach out to me. To hear a sampling of what I can do when following a music supervisor's spec (southern-rock songs), check out "Moonshine", "State Route 202", and "Seeing Double All Alone" (all uploaded on this site).
I'm also looking for male and female vocalists as well as keyboardists in the Seattle area that are available for recording projects on a "work-for-hire" basis. It would be great to hear professionally recorded examples of your work.
"Like" me and then message me on face book (donniebarrenholtzinger) or contact me through my web site DonnieBarren Dot Com. If you would like to stream these songs, you can access most of them at donniebarrenholtzinger Dot band camp Dot Com.
Thanks.
Donnie

Moonshine
Moonshine Year: 2018 Genre: Southern Rock
I've become very interested in writing, recording and pitching songs to music supervisors for TV and movie soundtracks, so if you have that passion (and are actively working in the space and want to collaborate), please reach out to me. To hear a sampling of what I can do when following a music supervisor's spec, check out "Moonshine" (uploaded on this site). The goal was to submit a "Southern Rock" song that could be on a playlist with tunes like George Thorogood’s “Madison Blues”, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Gimme Three Steps”, ZZ Top’s “Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers”, or Molly Hatchett's "Whiskey Man".

State Route 202
State Route 202 Year: 2019 Genre: Rock
Skinny dippin', as the sun's goin' down Holding hands, my lady in this southern town Heavy pettin', she's the girl from the General Store Ahhhh these memories, I'm heading back for more. Chicken fingers, biscuits 'n dirty rice Sweet Magnolias, a little bit o' paradise Crack a cold one, making time in my 4x4 So damn homesick, can't take it anymore. (Chorus) Well I feel it in my bones, I gotta get back home Feel it in the air, well I’m gonna soon be there. Heading back to you, Where the skies are so blue… Heading back on State Route 202 On State Route 202 This city life, has got me feelin' down. Concrete jungles, pavement all around. Gimme country life, my pedal’s to the floor. So damn homesick, can't take it anymore. (Chorus) Well I feel it in my bones, I gotta get back home Feel it in the air, well I’m gonna soon be there. Heading back to you, Where the skies are so blue…. Heading back on State Route 202 On State Route 202 (Instrumental) (Chorus) Well I feel it in my bones, I gotta get back home Feel it in the air, well I’m gonna soon be there. Well I’m heading back to you, Where the skies are so blue…. Heading back on State Route 202 On State Route 202 Well I’m heading back to you, Where the skies are so blue Heading back on State Route 202 On State Route 202 (Ending Chorus Vamp) On State Route, State Route 202 It's the road that...that takes me back to you On State Route, State Route 202 I'm heading, I'm heading (back) home to you On State Route, State Route 202 © 2019 Don Holtzinger, BMI - Bare Trees Music.
