Biography

I'm a singer and a guitarist. I use Garageband and Logic Express ..

I'm a vocal chameleon (or a musical tart), I sing / write songs in a variety of styles, from country ballads to full on rock.

My listening tastes cross all genres, from Metal, Rock and Blues to Funk, Jazz, Blue Grass, Country and Pop.

I'm only an occasional gigging musician now .. my 2 boys and associated responsibilities have put paid to that, so I fill my spare time with writing and recording, though I don't get enough time to do that at the moment.

I'm learning all the while. I have a deep love for music, what I love is that this hobby has given me the opportunity to collaborate with some cool musicians from all over the world.

Some of my latest songs ..

FALLING

A song written a long time ago, It features my 2 buddies Brett and James (on Bass and Drums) and a guest vocal from Angela Hope / TaylorMade (who has since sailed from these shores)

GREED

The tale of our times .. the Bankers and Politicians lost site of what's morally right in the persuit of more ... when is enough, enough ? You have to wonder what the hell is going on !

STAND FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE

I guess this is a song about standing up for your beliefs whether political, religious or moral.

DREAMS Did you ever have a dream (s) did they come true for you, or are you still chasing them ? This was my first song done in Logic..

LULABYE Another song with James Moore (Drums) and Brett Field (Bass). It's an up tempo song originally written as an acoustic lulabye for my 2 yr old, Will.

WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL Another 6/8 time sig rock song, kinda John Mellencamp style with a hint of Folk.

TRAVELLING MAN A blues / rock song in the same vein as Cry of Freedom / Bad Company / Free.

THE SOUND OF OUR SUMMER It's a mix of reggae/blues and rock, and features my old band mates James Moore on drums and Brett Field on bass, the perfect rhythm section.

Thanks for taking time to read my ramblings, have a listen to my tunes and PLEASE leave some feedback .. GOOD, BAD OR UGLY... I will not mind as long as you're being honest, ...you couldn't be more honest than my wife is about my music !!

Dave
