I am a singer/songwriter who has performed in the Chicagoland area since 1976. Since 1999 I have been concentrating on recording, and have an album called "Sing Your Songs To Me". It has a country, pop, jazz feel to it.
I play acoustic and electric six string, acoustic 12-string, electric bass and piano. I am also a DAP. (Digital Audio Producer). I also do voice-over work.
Hey! Thanks for adding us! If you wouldn't mind, we'd love it if you could take a couple minutes and check out our tunes. If you're into Dave Matthews Band/Matchbox Twenty kinda music, you'll probably enjoy Facepaint. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think! Thanks a lot!
Maureen, Thanks for finding me. Glad that you enjoyed my song "Twilight". Hope that you will come out to the Elbo Room on Jul 18th. Your music is really beautiful-- hypnotically relaxing. All the best, Jami
hi, i just wanted to stop by your space and thank you for finding me on here...normally i would ask you what your favorite song was but today i thought i would ask you if you have any special plans for the weekend....
I'll be in Evanston/Wilmette for LilFest (myspace. com/lilfest) in a couple of weeks. I start the whole thing off with a show at Bills Blues on 9/11. Chicago's Michi will be my violin. Hope to see you and your friends there.
