College radio from Loyola in Maryland. I host (and sometimes co-host with Ty Ford) a local music show every Thursday morning from 11 until noon. Sometimes I even play live on the air. You can AOL instant message me while I'm on-air at WLOYIM.
I record my stuff at Ty's, and you should, too! But seriously, Ty is phenomenal at capturing the energy of the moment, and he is particularly adept with voices. He records acoustic groups mostly, and voice over work. But he does much more - check out the site!
Claudia SanSoucie is a dear friend, a fabulous songwriter, and an amazing graphic designer. Claudia designed my CD package, and I couldn't have been more pleased. It looks great!
I'm now President of this killer grassroots organization. Imagine getting together with other songwriters twice a month to talk about songwriting, and get suggestions on how to improve your own stuff. Plus, I host the open mic every 3rd Monday at The Waterfront Hotel, at 1710 Thames St. in Fells Point. If you want to know more, check out the website.
Taneytown is a close-knit group of friends that decided to form a band. The genre is americana, with some traditional country-rock influences here and there. Taneytown's singer reminds one of Bruce Springsteen and the band sounds like Steve Earle in his younger years. Real Roots Café has put it aptly:
"How American can a Dutch band sound?"
Chick fronted roots/folk-rock band The Damsels features killer harmonies by Sabrina and Rachel (TWO front-women, count 'em, two!) held together by the bongo bitch himself, Timmy.
Kat is a New Zealand-born, Netherlands-based singer/songwriter. I met her while on tour in Holland. Kat runs Den Haag Songwriter's Guild, along with her business partner Jaap, and they are really fabulous people.
President of the Baltimore Songwriter's Association, Paul is also an accomplished songwriter, and one hell of a nice guy. He just released his first independant cd, which features not only his own songs, but several by other local songwriters.
