MySpace a place for friends

GAVIN, who is he and where did he come from? This energetic rising country star took a trip from sunny southern California back in 1993 To see if he had what it takes to be a country singing sensation. Back in the days, there was never a day that went by, that he didn’t pop in a Garth Brooks cassette. He grew up listening to Garth Brooks, at the same time patterning himself after him. Went out andbought his first guitar, and picked up a few Garth Books music books. Next thing you know he was playing and singing tunes from his mentor. As the years went by, he developed his own style. Started writing his own songs. Not bad for a teenager. Instead of running around outside with his friends he would sit inside in him and start writing songs. Country music became his life. Lived and breathed country music. Treated his parents to the “No Hats Tour” I tell you what Travis Tritt and Marty Stuart sure can put on a show. Full of energy, able to strut their stuff. He was totally inspired. All he wanted to do was get up on a stage and sing for all to see. He did just that. Singing at family gatherings, friends parties, and social gatherings. This started to take off. Shooting him into numerous directions and numerous styles. He wanted to sing like Travis Tritt, full of energy, able to give one heck of a show. He wanted to play like Marty Stuart, electric fingers on the guitar. Then again he wanted to run around the stage just like the wild and spontaneous Garth Brooks. First thing he needed was a name. That took a lot of thought. He listens to Garth and Travis tritt more and more during those days. Finally decided to give them both recognition. Travis Brooks was developed. Songs written by Travis Brooks. The name had a great country feel to it. People knew right away who his favorite country singers were. That’s good. That’s the way he wanted it. Leaving California was a scary thing to do. But the music was calling to him. This is what you want, this is what you need. Go and get it. You can do it. Live the dream! Out in Music City things were tough, but he did meet some real good friends along the way. Some that helped him in his venture, some that pulled him back from making huge mistakes. But getting to know an artist as a person and his family is heart warming. Knowing that he is still a person just like you and I. No difference there. Only thing is, they travel from city to city and give their fans an incredible show. That’s what he was working for. Marty’s sister told him, you got what it takes go out there and strut your stuff., show Nashville what you are made of. Junior thought he was good enough that he wanted to produce him. But that was long ago. Now he has been out on his own doing numerous things. Built a recording studio in-house, met up with some big name producers, very talented writers, and wonderful friends. Terry knew deep down inside that he would be a superstar someday. He had enough faith in him to let him record some of his tunes. Hopefully he can make these tunes stand out in the market to make him a successful writer. One of his hits climbed the country charts on Garageband. “Mockingbird” This song has numerous people going; this guy is good, heck sounds like he has been singing this type of music since the movie “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”. He had the opportunity to meet up with a Billboard top 10 Producer in Nashville last year, which knew he had the right stuff to be successful. Let him sing a tune Buck Moore wrote called “What a Man wants to hear” This song has a rocking country beat to it. Something like Garth would have done. Getting numerous reviews from artists as well as listeners on his tunes shows this guy can get things done. Getting his name out there was the issue at hand. Travis Brooks wasn’t going to cut it. Wanted a name that would make people know who he is, and of course easy to remember. First there was GARTH, now comes the new country music sensation GAVIN. Now that stuck. Nashville Star sung to him like an angel choir. Naturally tried out. CMT has a show on the air. Tried out for that as well. GAVIN is getting out through using proper channels on the web. New form of marketing and advertising. Myspace, DigitalRodeo, MusicNation, Garageband. If this is the way to get your songs heard, this is the way to go. Currently working on his 1st Studio release cd. Songs include: The title track “This Love Can”, followed by Mockingbird, What a man wants to hear, Loves going to Spark, and numerous others. Keep an eye out, may see a music video in the near future.
