​
Music is an integral part and exploration of who and what we are - a statement, a commentary, a personal story.
Life & death, love & hate, war & peace, laughter & tears, protests & proclamations...................life's conundrums.
If any of the songs pose questions, provoke an occasional thought or simply bring a little happiness then I may have succeeded in some small way...............

Andrew Marston. BBC radio.

A selection of song-specific comments from our A & R Company.
​
"Just One More Burned Out, Broke Down, Sad Old Song":
Very cool vocal sound. The retro-folk style and story is very unique and original. The phrasing of the melody really conveys the emotion here.
​
"Dust Bowl Town":
Really enjoyed the historical lyric and folk feel. Nice job.
​
"Nothing More To Say":
I like the lyrics, the songwriting, the easy listening vibe and all the ideas.
"Until The Break Of Day":
I like the easy, relaxed shuffle feel and the classic, almost Western-leaning melody and vibe.
​
"Riding On The Devil's Train":
It reminds me of '70s Dylan. Nice work.
​
"Losing Control Of The Rock & The Roll":
I like the songwriting, the "live" sound, the instrumentation and the overall construction. Nice job.
​
"Nothing More To Say":
Great old-fashioned vibe, easy shuffle feel and somewhat classic melodic phrasing.
