   About JR
JR sings and plays from the heart whilst being orchestrated by the soul. His vulnerable mellow voice draws a weary listener in with lyrics of love and loss. Critics say his voice and songs are reminiscent of Cat Stevens, Art Garfunkel and Nick Drake. Finally he has recorded his debut solo album "Wintergreen". The album is full of sunny melodies, lush harmonies, embellished with banjo, mandolin and melancholy love. Also check out www.myspace.com/jrdallas for instrumental projects and www.myspace.com/presidentroots for the band he plays in   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 Buy the CD

Hey,
Went down to Red Violin to check you out tonight and you weren't there! :-)
Hope you rock out tomorrow in Rosebud!
If you've got some spare time and the inclination, it'd be cool to have a jam with you...
Take care...

Hiya JR,

Thanks for your kind comments and for listening. I would so love to come to Aus to play. Soon I think. You guys seem to understand good guitar music better than us Brits! As is apparent with your beautiful songs! ;)

Big smiles,
