“MY WAY” was the first release of 8 songs i recorded with infamous Producer/Engineer Josh Insel at 2200 Studios in Sausalito California in 25' and 26'. Musicians on these tracks include Drummer Michael Urbano (Smashmouth), pianist John Varn (Journey), and bass/guitar wizard Matthew Berry (Delta Spur).
"So what do you play?" ….."The songs that I love. Hits by Bob Marley and other Reggae artists- new and old, 80's Classics and B sides from the 70's, UK artists and Irish favorites, Deep cuts and one hit wonders, Motown and Soul classics, R and B, Underground Folk hits, classic country, local bands you may not have heard of….Every day the list gets longer and more diverse. I may not know that song you love today, but the next time i see you i may have learned it! Adding these beloved favorites has helped me immeasurably as an artist too, accelerating my own songwriting and performance. Transposing cover songs into my own versions is an exercise i enjoy immensily. Sometimes its a tempo change, or changing the entire genre of the thing, but the song is the same and you can still sing along! The fun part for me is pulling out an obscure cover that everyone knows but hasnt heard in forever, can't remember who sang it, or where it was from. Those conversations are the best! The weird one hit wonders of decades lost….that love song from that movie…the theme from that tv show… There are so many incredible musical gems out there that connect us. I want as many of those wonderful moments with people as possible:) You can catch me performing at these places EVERY WEEK! (scroll)
