Sounds Like
Depending upon the song, I have material that is very Joni Mitchell-ish; and yet I can rock out like Janis Joplin and make it country like the Dixie Chicks. The important thing is the music and I like to believe I simply create beautiful music. I've been called a 'Countrified Pat Benatar" by Pete Kotz, Editor of the Nashville Scene. I am a rocker at heart, but raised on country music, I do have a bit of an Americana sound. My Idols are Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton because they, like myself, are singer-songwriters. They are the "Real Deal" and not manufactured products; so common in the music industry today. I have a sound and style all my own! I am a cross between Singer-Songwriter, Americana and Rock, with a touch of Country at times. I'd like to have that classic, undefinable sound that one would attribute to Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, and Lucinda Williams...all rolled into one very unique artist and sound..where the music is simply GREAT.

Love opens doors and hearts and eyes Love will make us realise, That nothing else matters when we are one with love in our hearts we shall never run
Love sings melodies and odes and serenades Love is the gift that never fades, There is never pain nor death nor sorrow with love in our hearts we shall see tommorrow
Love comforts a sister and strengthens a brother Love is unique and there is no other, Never shall we fall when all has been faced with love in our hearts we are always embraced
Love is a promise to overcome strife Love is the giver of the purest life, Always shall we conquer without a doubt with love in our hearts we will always shout
Greater are we who see! Worthy are we to be! Light is right through eternal sight Love is a guardian of invincible might! Greater are we who find! Worthy are we beyond mind! Truth is far and truth is near Love is truth so never fear!
Love is a refuge and a giver of trust Love is the reason that we must, Feel heart to heart and see eye to eye with love in our hearts we shall never die
Love is a friend that will never pretend Love is eternal and will never end, A true bond is never a falling star with love in our hearts we shall know who we are.
