Artist Biography |
|
|
|
A vibrant new influence in both style and versatility discribes the music penned by this artist. Where have they been keeping him all these years since Aaron Copeland? American Folk Art has just been revealed as still intact when this composer's music joins variiety venues. Lyrics are clear an able to uplift the least inspired patron or audience. An insightful gesture to note about his stage background is how he achieves dramatic specticle with most of the skills from the standpoint of an actor. 'In-the-moment', if you will? Which makes his lyrical sense a more adaptable medium to any given set of ways to emphasize. A trademark quality by far, when his music also has a connecting phrasiology as if the orchestra were the remaining cast that synthesizes what a main character is going through. Theatre-life couldn't keep him to theyselves for too long. Now is his story getting out there where it can change a way of thinking just what music very much 'is' from a definative viewpoint.
Artist Mission
"As a lyricist/composer, much of what I grew up with was out there—beyond a mere reach with only a few expressions to take them all in. Workmanship first—then with any amount of relationship that comes from all that diligence—true artistship in original works becomes my given place. A persistant heart always accomplishes it's ends when a need presents what it should do."
Music Influences
When growing up in a little town of Illinois, I always enjoyed the fact that the city hall building was once the home of Ira Gershwin. I've performed top-forty 60's,70's and been suaded by symphonies as a main diet. Theatrical Music has become my greatest influence: Tim Rice (British) , Douglas Stewart (American). With Traditional Multi-Cultural interests: Merrill Jensen (How Rare A Possession), Keith Merrill (The Testaments), Kurt Bestor (Utah), Sam Cardon (The Work And The Glory), Kenneth Cope (The Prophet), Trevor Jones & Randy Edelman (Last Of The Mohicans), Felix Mendelssohn (A Midnight's Summer Dream), Rogers & Hammerstein (Hello, Young Lovers), Alan Jay Lerner (My Fair Lady), Patrick Dole (Much Ado About Nothing).
