I don't know how to answer questions like this. Honey, you're just gonna have to listen to the songs I got on here. Which aren't much, I know. The first four songs are originals. And I realize that the recording quality of these songs is horrible. One was recorded during a gig, one was recorded during a rehearsal, and the rest were done in a living room. Hooray! "Boy" was a song that my friend, Adriana DeLaRosa, had written as an instrumental and I wrote some lyrics and sang on it. It's a different genre altogether and I love diversity. One day I shall get my bootie into the studio, but until then, I'm poor. So, enjoy! :)
I was born and raised in Austin, Texas. I've been into music for most of my life. I have diverse tastes with a healthy background in blues. My passions are singing and songwriting. I have fronted two bands. My focus right now is writing songs for an original group.
Hey there girl! I love your pic. Come out to the Dizzy Rooster some Wednesday night between 9:30 to 12am and sit in with the Jaime Krueger Group. We would love to have you!
Hehhe, He is one of my biggest influences. Funny as I just bought myself dices and been wondering what to do with 'em. :) And Albert Collins and his notorious crap skills are always on my mind when I'm twiddlin' with 'em. :D
What's this mess between you and Super Cuz and me and hair bands?? Come on... I love Van Halen... I liked Ratt, Bon Jovi, The Scorpions, Motley Crue, Dokken, Twister Sister, Whitesnake... wait... shit... I did love the hair bands. Disregard.
I have come a long way though... musically at least. :)
