Biography [supplied by artist]
Hey Y'all,
just a little about me and what I do.Born in Londonderry
Northern ireland I started my musical adventure so long
ago it's darn near the year 1 LOL. Got my first guitar
at the tender age of 14 almost drove my family insane
till I learned to play it.But heck my Mom bought it
to me so she only had herself to blame. Well practised
hard almost every spare minute usually confined to the
bathroom ( acoustics were better LOL) though it caused
a few problems when someone had to go cause oft times
I was singing and strumming so loud I didnt hear the
agonising cries outside the door.I sounded a bit like
the proverbial banshee wailing back then in fact me
& the cat sang harmonies. By 19 I was out there
doing my Thang on the pub and club circuit earning a
crust or two and picking up all the playing tips I could
from my peers this stood me in good stead for future
years where I toured extensively all around Europe in
Country & Country Rock bands life was good tiring
but good, then I got married HECK that put an end to
the touring LOL but not the playing I concentrated on
doing more gigging around Ireland then. Started songwriting
in my late 20's but most never saw the light of day
as the bread & butter was earned doing the Covers
of the day folks just didnt wanna hear the inate ramblings
of the singer/songwriter.
That was the trend till I kinda quit for a while in
my late thirties but still kept writing just for my
own pleasure. Then came the age of technology and the
INTERNET That got me kinda interested in playing again
so I dug out the guitar and for the first time ever
people actually clapped when I sang an original song
. It felt good so I kept on going LOL.
Through the internet I met & teamed up with Dixie
Vornbrock a songwriter from Minnesota , we kinda hit
it off almost instantly and started producing some darn
good songs ( If I say so myself ) We met for the first
time face to face in the summer of 2004 and that was
it HECK we've been together ever since and still produce
sweet music together and will for the forseeable future
. Some of those songs are featured here so go ahead
and listen thats why we write them. Hope you enjoy our
musings !!!!
