Recently, two co-writers and I wrote and released Getaway Train Featuring Andy Patalan. It has some tremendously talented world class musicians on the track. The track has made it past two A/R reps at a major Nashville label and is being recommended for recording by a major artist. This is a potentially huge opportunity! Next, the publisher will meet with the label executives and artist they have in mind. If that goes well, a major artist will record and sing this song.
In August of 2012, I signed a 10 song publishing contract! The CD Wandering Soul (and Getaway Train as a single) has over 37,000 plays on ReverbNation since its release. Total plays all over the web are almost 250,000. Thousands of fans are listening all over the world including Italy, Japan, Russia, Poland, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Bulgaria, Germany, United Kingdom, France, New Zealand, Singapore, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, China and Luxembourg, and also good ole USA (So Cool!)
I have written country, blues, pop and rock songs. My influences are the Beatles, Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Eagles, Brian Wilson, Beach Boys, Billy Joel, and George Strait.
