Album US 2012 on Crab Apple Records label
Rock (Power Pop)
These songs were done in the Fall of 2012 for a Facebook group called ‘Theme Music’. Each week a new theme is posted, and memebers record a song that fi ts the theme, and post it (as a video) to the group online. Most of them are either solo acoustic performances in one take, or big studio productions with a lip/sync video. I choose to do something in between. My tracks are usually still ‘live’ with all the normal mistakes you’d expect, but I play all the instruments. It’s what it would be like if I could clone myself and got together to jam on songs I don’t really know. Most of these songs were first attempts of songs I don’t know how to play. Enjoy!
