SEEKING

ABOUT

Open mic experienced singer with an interest in many genres. I also write songs. I'm really looking to form a group of like minded talent, ideally eventually with a bass, lead, other guitar, pref drums, keys. Ive got great visionary & producer ear. Would love to try lead vocals after finally accepting the years of positive comments & semi conquering imposter syndrome of the stage! Need to find diverse hearty mature (not elderly) peeps that can appreciate anything from crowded house to mark ronson to eva cassidy!! Id love to find a band keen to revisit timeless tracks like The Carpenters, The Seekers, Elton John, But then 2 completely change it up maybe some Sterophonics and Ray Keane. Ive got a great producer mind with unique ideas. I just love music. Anything that moves people in any way I'm in.

Influences

Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, Gladys Knight, Brandi Carlile, Elvis, The Carpenters, Ocean Colour scene, 60's bands like The Platters, Patsy Cline, The Seekers, then obviously Queen, Prince, Bowie, Neil Young, Jimmi Cliff and the folk scene later. I like Patty Griffin, Courtney Marie Andrews for low tempo depth. Billy Jo Spears Blanket on the ground well & need a band to practise. That one track is a good example of my vocal desires and pace. Enjoy to sing Indie music such as the 90s male dominated classics by bands such as embrace, radiohead, but it equally works with a Judith Durham/ dolly Parton number or even something mainstream like Keane Somewhere only we know.
