Sounds LikeWarren is an incredible songwriter with an amazing voice. He also covers rock and roll and folk rock artists from the ‘60’s, ‘70’s and 80’s. His stories, from watching Frankenstein on the late movie with Jimmy Buffett, coloring with Dolly Parton and hanging out with Richie Havens, to exchanging letters with Doors’ singer/lyricist Jim Morrison and touring with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band are as entertaining as the songs they inspired and prompted Mare Lennon to quip “Warren is the Forrest Gump of Folk!".

I wish I wrote songs as nice as yours! Keep it up.

Just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful time last night. We all really enjoyed your music. You gave me much more than I bargained for. Have I said yet how great you were?

________________

The concert with you and John McEuen was fantastic, even better than last year. Your show is one of the most entertaining that we have ever booked. Everyone is still talking about what a great time they had.

   About Warren
John McEuen, the CMA and Grammy award winning multi-instrumentalist for The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band says:

Warren Floyd is an excellent entertainer. His fan base has been built on his engaging personable stage approach that brings people in to listening to a voice I wish I had, and he does this with an eclectic mix of known songs . . . and then lays on them some of his own, which usually end up going over better than all. He is dependable, a nice guy, easy to work with, and hey! shows up on time! He picks great and works a crowd well . . . and all have a good time as he sneaks in his own songs that end up getting requested by return listeners.

Warren has worked for me personally and with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band both on an artistic and production level. In doing so he has always demonstrated that he is a professional in every manner, whether being asked at the last minute to open a show in front of a few thousand people, singing harmony on or off stage, being a lighting director or guitar roadie, or any of the many other things we have called him to do. Warren always performed professionally, did it right, etc. We are glad to have had his services and feel that anyone else who does so will feel the same.

________________

Daddy, Are we There Yet?, the new recording from Warren Floyd, is now available, featuring original songs and a few written by some of my favorite Denver songwriters. It also features performances by John McEuen and Jimmie Fadden of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The album was mixed by Tom Anderson, who has worked with The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Sly & The Family Stone, Van Morrison, Hoyt Axton and others.

Also available is Tired & Decaffeinated, the album by Floyd & Baker, featuring original tunes plus tunes by Jimmie Fadden (of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) and Jon Ims (who has written for Reba McIntyre, Trisha Yearwood, The Dixie Chicks).

Contact me to order either or both CD's.

Warren Floyd discovered America in a Texas farmhouse he helped his father build. By the age of twelve he was playing piano, guitar and saxophone, and singing in the church choir. Extra-curricular activities at North Texas State University included joining in on back stage jams with John Denver and Helen Reddy, and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at concerts he co-produced for the school.

In 1973 he began working with bands in Texas and Louisiana and he moved to Colorado in 1979. In the early '80's Warren spent a few months each year touring with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Chick Corea and The Little River Band working on the production crews as stage manager and lighting director.

His work with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band led to performances with them in Anchorage, Alaska and at Michael Martin Murphey's West Fest, plus numerous concerts with John McEuen, including The Rocky Mountain Opry shows at Red Rocks featuring Arlo Guthrie, Bonnie Raitt, Leon Russell, Donovan, Doc Watson, David Bromberg, The Bellamy Brothers, Steve Goodman, Asleep at the Wheel, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, John Hartford, Leo Kottke, Mason Williams and others; and opening for The Marshall Tucker Band. Other shows include concerts with Kenny Rankin, Russell Smith (The Amazing Rhythm Aces) and Eric Burdon (The Animals / War).

From 1984-1986 Warren was co-producer of Cominatcha Live, the local cable television series which featured local and national artists. From 1986-1988 he was the operations manager of The Boulder Folk and Bluegrass Festival which featured local, national and international acts.

In 1992 Warren performed for ten days in Hong Kong at The American Food Fair, sponsored by The U.S. Department of Agriculture

In addition to his solo work, Warren performed for over 27 years with Eric Baker who died in 2004. They released their Tired & Decaffeinated album in 1991. Warren & Eric opened concerts for Dave Mason, The Beat Farmers, Jim Messina (Buffalo Springfield / Poco / Loggins & Messina), The Mavericks, Eric Burdon (The Animals / War), Richie Havens, John McEuen & Jimmy Ibbotson (The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), Poco and were joined on stage by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member Richie Furay (founding member of Buffalo Springfield and Poco).

Warren, a former high school graduate (Our Lady of The Homecoming Queen), also plays bass, harmonica, kazoo, accordion, autoharp, washboard, and various implements of percussion. Free MySpace LayoutsFree MySpace Layouts

Hey Warren,

Thanks so much for coming out to the open mic/jam at Tigardville Station last Wednesday. You were awesome.

I listened to the "Daddy, Are We There Yet?" CD and really enjoyed it. Great tunes. This Old House is at once sad, comforting and hopeful. Not an easy combination. Kudos!

Anyway, I hope to see you again soon, either at the jam, one of your shows or one of ours.

Cheers,
Jim
