I've grown up in what I consider the prolific music era. The sixties and seventies had so many artists that weren't just making music but changing the world as well. Growing up in Iowa my Father played guitar and sang for the family. Being a railroad worker he played folk music with an edge. So these two things really influenced my being involved in music and desire to create my own music and play music of those artist who really said something to me in their lyrics.
I've come to a point in my life that I want to perform and play that music for others. Try to show others what I found. I've played in bookstores, coffee shops, open mic's, festivals and around the neighborhood campfires. I just can't get enough of playing for people. I'm trying to bring the joy of music to all that I can much the way that others have given me.
hey, just stopping by to say hi - hope you're doing well.
I've got my new single 'Dancing On The Kitchen Tiles" on my page at the moment, as well as a couple of new live videos. I'd love to know what you think.
Just spreading some love your way - Thanks and enjoy the Christmas season! PS: the song Feel Good, should make you feel good! :o) Kevin
