British band that relocated to Nashville. Scored a #1 beach music hit with 'Cryin' Ain't Gonna Win Her Back.'
Music is a form of expression. It's much like a novel or a screenplay, only it's set to music. The music creates the mood. The words convey the message. It gives us a way of saying collectively what we want to say as a band. Not necessarily through an individual song, but through a body of work.
To become a household name.
We're not really out to change the world. We're all about painting it as it is, warts and all.
Reminiscing by Little River Band. I remember where I was when I first heard it.
The Beatles, ELO, Led Zeppelin, Spin Doctors, John Mayer
Inspiration comes at odd times, usually in dreams. I'm inspired to create, even if I'm the only one who will ever hear it.
Fun. Happiness. We want you to leave each song with a smile on your face.
It's been so long we don't really remember.
The reality is listening is so splintered. It's difficult to make a decent living like you used to be able to. On the other hand, there are now so many outlets available that anyone who wants to make music can get it out to a broader audience, and that's really what it's all about.
Well, we're new here, but we really like it. We especially like the reviews. We're audience-testing our new tracks here before we release them because we're getting such useful feedback. It's like a focus group, but with real musicians who can offer constructive criticism.
Lyrics. The music comes pretty easy. It's the lyrics that are hard. It's much like giving birth. It's very difficult and very painful, but it's the most rewarding thing you'll ever do.
To be honest, we haven't gotten out much because of COVID. What we have done is post about acts we've come across and really like. An artist should never be afraid to compliment another artist.
Tenacity. It takes a lot of product before you reach critical mass. Too many artists give up before they hit their groove. You have to keep pounding out quality product. Eventually somebody notices.
Aubrey Wollett. She's a country artist who really has a great sound. Diane Shaw. She's a soul singer from the UK. Really love her style. James Hunter Six. Another UK act with a soulful sound. James apparently smokes like a freight train, but it gives his voice a really great quality. Wouldn't recommend smoking, you youngsters out there, but it works for James.
