HERE'S WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT 'SWEET SURRENDER'
“Highly devotional and yet highly radio-friendly.... there’s plenty of toe-tapping fun and aggressive skill set in the most likeable stylings. Commendable project, attentive-retaining from start to finish.” PAUL DAVIS, NEW CHRISTIAN MUSIC, England
“70s vibe... good lyrics and good piano playing. Some of the songs sound like real classics.” KRISTIAN SELAN, BIG STREET, Sweden
“An accomplished effort ... heartfelt lyrics over catchy piano lines and Connie’s backing vocals both compliment and add depth....much more than just your standard Christian fare” GRAEME COUSINS, LURGAN MAIL, Northern Ireland
Jesus, The Beatles, Burton Cummings (formerly of The Guess Who), Ron Dante, Elton John, Billy Joel, Leonard Ravenhill, Terry Taylor & Daniel Amos (DA), Larry Norman, Pat Terry, Tom Howard, David Meece, Marty McCall, Keith Green ...and especially Chuck Girard
Sounds Like
Maybe a bizarre mixture of Elton John, Chris de Burgh, Supertramp, Keith Green & Chuck Girard. But more than likely, like nobody you've ever heard before. YOU decide!
OK! Here's the bottom line! I'm just an ordinary guy from New Jersey, USA, currently living in Northern Ireland, pastoring a Church of the Nazarene, and 'doing music' on the side. I'm married to a Belfast girl called Connie, and I have two incredible teenage daughters, Shannon and Bethany. I'm passionate about my relationship with Jesus Christ - the One who saved me, I love music, and for kicks I try to bring the two together. I realise I don't have the greatest voice on the planet. I'm your average untrained piano player, a pretty decent songwriter... and I love to try and make music. I don't do to much touring these days, but enjoy spending time in the studio.
That's it! I'm not a big star - never was, never wannabe. Just an average, middle-aged guy who loves Jesus and enjoys serving Him through music and pastoral ministry.
I'd love for you to spend some time here, listen to the songs, let me know what you think ... and feel free to leave a comment or two any time ya want.
Guess that's about all I have to say.
