SEEKING
Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Other, Electronic Music.ABOUT
Interested in a side project co-writing original music. Hoping to collaborate with other musicians or lyricists to write new material, update existing originals, or create unique versions of cover tunes. I have a growing catalog of completed songs and several others in progress.
Currently I am playing keys in a busy classic rock/pop cover band, so adding more gigs is not my goal.
Open to a wide variety of musical styles including rock, pop, funk, alternative, americana, blues, reggae, acoustic, folk, jazz, etc.
Have decent keyboard skills and vocals. Enjoy singing harmonies and the occasional lead vocal.
Links to some of my original catalog are included on the Music section of this page.

Cherry Vanilla Shake
Cherry Vanilla Shake Year: 2020
Modern rock/dance oriented tune that was on the back burner for more than a decade. With extra free time in 2020, was able to complete this version.

I Want To Hold The World
I Want To Hold The World Year: 1993 Genre: Rock
Created this while I was with Buzzfactor ('92 - '94) in collaboration with our lead singer, Greg, who wrote the lyrics and vocal melody, while I composed the musical framework. Props to Bob G. of Gold Key Studios, who produced, recorded, mixed and mastered.

Labor Pain
Labor Pain Genre: Rock
This dark tune started as a sequence I wrote in 1990 and developed into this form during the expansion test phase of Gold Key Studios in the mid 90's. Five musicians collaborated on this recording, which is a rough take from one of our practice sessions. Features Greg's lyrics, vocals and primal screams.

No Conscience [2020 Remix]
No Conscience [2020 Remix] Genre: Reggae
A social consciousness tune I wrote in collaboration with The Goods, an original band I was with from '89 - '92. This is a remixed version from 2020. Thirty years later the theme remains the same.
