Rockin', rootsy slightly jazzy with a tiny twang of country and folk the songs are full of passion and personal stories of love - its loss and new beginnings.
Bio / Background
“Where I Live”
Places, people, times, states of emotion, passion, experiences, love, loss & redemption
This album grew out of my desire to take songs I have written in the last few years to completion – arranged, performed and recorded.
The process of recording has been a journey of discovery. The recording brought together musicians from different roots and genres. They come from folk, roots rock, country, jazz, reggae, punk and pop.
I wanted to create a venue that would feature the skill of the players within the context of the songs. These players are truly exceptional and it has been a great joy to work with and learn from them.
Most of the songs were recorded “live” with a full band playing in the studio – bass, drums, keyboards, two guitars and vocals with additional parts added later. I think this gives a more organic and session-like feel to the songs. The core of the recording group was constant with additional musicians coming in on tunes.
↓ more ↓The goal has been to capture the song in a form as fully as I hear when I am writing it on acoustic guitar. I have worked with musicians and vocalists to realize the song’s genre and voice.
I grew up writing in the late 60’s and 70’s, in a time when there was a great deal of active experimentation going on in song writing. The genres and song structure were not so defined as they are today. That sensibility has stayed with me and influences how I write. The songs on the album are in tone from folk/Celtic, rock, jazz, to fado and country.
I am a man writing in his fifties which has shaped my writing as I am ever more aware of the fragility of life, the strength that people show in the face of loss, and their search for connection and meaning.
