Sounds Like
THE PROPELLERS have an engaging sound. We do not reinvent the wheel but we do steer it a little different. The CD "The Sky's The Limit" has a nice mix of punchy modern / classic rock, jazz influence, pop, and a some blues. Some of it is more easy listening and yet the ballads are very intense. All in all we sound like US!
I grew up in a small town 32 miles West of Philadelphia, PA called Downingtown, PA. Although Philly may not be like NYC, LA or Nashville it is rich in music tradition.
In fact it was the members of a succesful band out of Philly that inspired me to pursue serious songwriting. I met Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman from "The Hooters" many years ago when they were just a hot local band. At the time I had just started playing guitar. I taught myself the guitar by making up my own little silly chord patterns and lyrics.
However seeing the passion these guys had for there music and the fun they were having making a living doing something they loved, made me realize I wanted a piece of that. I only wish I would have been smart enough to become closer friends of theirs however.
While I haven't quite had the success they have had I have seen my music bring enjoyment and entertainment to many people. I had a band in the mid to late 1980's called "Batteries Not Included" that packed small clubs and had listeners requesting original songs.
I have also had the pleasure to be hired to write music for aspiring artists. No household names up to this point but I continue to get the word out. I did write some music for a child actress who tried to resurrect her career by becoming a singer but she tragically took her own life half way through the project.
In 2002 my band called "The Propellers" had a succesful CD called The Sky's The Limit. We had some limited airplay.
I currently write music for Sher Lefever of Confederate Starz Artist Management. I am of course available for hire. I have a few songs being considered now for a film.
Stay tuned for updates!
I am presently represented by Sher Lefever of Confederate Starz Artist Management or CSAM. She is a wonderful lady who also works tirelessly for her organization called Child Predator Busters. If you treasure children then look up the CPB site.
I am currently working on some songs to be used in Film and Television.
Hey Andy, yes, it is a cigg free zone. It's tough but I've got 15 days. It was a tough one today but I made it. Thanks for being there. Your the best and I love that default pic. MaryAnn ...=_=...
Hey Andy, I seek an outstanding management company with lots of contacts with Europe? I am in the middle, negotiating a possible recording contract with Deka Records with European influences. They deal out of Youngtown, Arizona and they have offices in London, Great Britain!
Hi Andy, LOL....Your funny...Guess what? I think we are all Bi Polar...No Kidding....Yes, the music has been quite teraputic for both of us. LOL...We all have a story to tell. Not to worry we will keep in touch. Thanks so much you brought a smile to my face and your honesty is valued very much. Sending a warm ...=_=...your way. ...Keep writing it's all we have to keep us sane. When people that you live with or in life don't recognize real truth to life..some of us have to write it down..."Good writing is clear thinking made visible", that is quote from a fortune cookie, believe it or not. I thought it was a great saying. I kept it and will keep it close. Much love to you my dear friend Andy. MaryAnn
Great pic and so it is your voice...Yes, I know what you mean about the promoting thing. If you think of something let me know too. LOL...Nice to see you...=_=...

Sorry, Andy. The Stros & Rangers have turned a lot of heads, but the season ain't over yet. It always comes down to pitching, doesn't it? Take care, Phillie Fan. The whole world's watching the Eagles this year. Peace.
