About Quinn

 
Portrait of Quinn
Quinn Strassel
Quinn Strassel hails from Ypsilanti, Michigan; birthplace of the Tucker automobile, Dominos Pizza, and Iggy Pop.

He studied Theatre at the University of Michigan and moved to New York City, where he taught drama and music appreciation at a Brooklyn public high school, while moonlighting as a performer and songwriter. After recording lo-fi indie ballads in his apartment, he started an after-school rock club where students brought guitars and rocked out. He also directed the school's plays, including a hip-hop adaptation of Oedipus Rex.

He moved to Massachusetts after receiving the prestigious Dennis Kauff Memorial fellowship to study Broadcast Journalism at Boston University. After graduating with a Master's Degree, he auditioned for OurStage.com after reading a post calling for someone with "performance/journalism experience and an interest in indie music."

The rest is history.

Since joining OurStage, Quinn has traveled the country, interviewing up-and-coming acts from the site, and more established artists like Lupe Fiasco, Tapes 'n Tapes, Blonde Redhead, Will Arnett, Rhymefest, and St. Vincent. He's attended and covered numerous festivals, including South By Southwest, Noise Pop, Bonnaroo, 10,000 Lakes, Lollapalooza, and Bumbershoot.

Favorite all-time artists include Beck, Pixies, Pavement, The Breeders, Guided By Voices, The Roots, Belle & Sebastian, Elliott Smith, Portishead, and Yo La Tengo. Favorite movies include Ghostbusters, Rushmore, Goonies, Harold and Maude, and R. Kelly’s Trapped in the Closet.

Quinn dedicates his work to all the hardworking emerging and independent artists who devote their lives to creating music, film, and art.

Sweet Japonic Plays an Encore at ROTHBURY

As mentioned in an earlier post, this is the first time I’ve seen an OurStage band get an encore request at a major festival like ROTHBURY. The guys decided to have a little fun with a tune Dylan wrote and Hendrix made famous. Enjoy!

Adam Ezra is up tomorrow!

    Quinn!
    My name is Tom Cusimano (koo-za-mono) from the Riders, I think we have talked on the phone once or twice...any way...
    Currently the Riders "All I'll Ever Need To See" is in the running in country (which is great since it is more a straight up country influenced rock'n'roll song, but I guess, like the eagles, The band and the boss and other genre jumping artists it just works!)
    Check it out and give it a spin for us!!
    Thanks!

    thanks!
  • Posted by Theory on Jun 27 at 2:37 PM EDT
    Hey Quinn! Cool thing you got going on this OurStage. I'd love for you to play my somg "Change." It's a song that just about anyone can relate to in one form or another. We've worked hard on this project and would like to touch as many people as we can. "Everybody needs change."

    Be well and God bless,

  • Posted by Juice Mane on Jun 27 at 2:29 PM EDT
    Hey Quinn,

    This is Juice Mane the name of my song is called "Treat You Better." I think you should play my song because this song is about a guy thats is stuck in the middle between his girlfriend and another girl. He is not sure what to do because he loves them both. He knows he can't have both but it's a difficult decision to make. So I think You should play my song because a lot people can relate to this situation and plus it's a very good song to listen to. Thanks for your support and time! Please play my song...

    Thanks again,

    Juice Mane

    Hey Quinn! This is The Bloodsugars. We're happy to be a part of the top 20 on OurStage, and we hope you'll find some room to play "Purpose Was Again", our new single. The video for the song just premiered today on Spinner, AOL Music's official blog, so you can check it out over there whenever you'd like.

    In any case, we'll be hanging around starting at 3. See you there!
  • Posted by atascreamer on Jun 27 at 2:15 PM EDT
    Quinn, Chase here representing Adam To Ashes. I will be on during the party today. You need to play our song "Words From December," which has made it to the semifinals. You should play it 1. because you love it 2. because it will remind you of last december when it snowed and 3. BECAUSE I SAW BECK AT BONNAROO!!!!! Beck is one of your favorite artists, and my having seen their awesome performance live creates and unspoken understanding of awesome between the two of us.

    See you at 3.

    peace quinn, my names Agustus thElefant. I have a fresh new track self produced and written. I hope you can play the track, hoping for a lasting impression in the running for current and future ourstage events... its good to see you and your partners pro active and devoting the time to help independent artists promote themselves. Unlike a lot of hacks in the sea of wackspace and other social networks that hardly offer an incentive to push their music... when nobody cares enough to listen to it, you give people encouragement to listen... and theirs a lot more at stake. thanks again for being such a productive asset to us small time artists.
    see you tomorrow and ill be bringing some friends as well. much love

    Hi Quinn!
    How exciting, I'm in the top ten in the Christian/Spiritual category! Let me just say first that, OurStage Rocks and my fans Rock even more! Second, it would be a real honor if you played my song, "Desperately Seeking You" today on the partyline because a lot of my fans will be there supporting me into the finals! Thanks in advance and I'll be talking to you soon!

Thanks to you and all who have voted for this song. JohnJohnsonzone
  • Posted by DIRTY DALE on Jun 27 at 11:44 AM EDT
    Hey Quinn!

    We are DIRTY DALE and we would love for you to play our song “GARBAGE MAN”. Why you should play this song you ask? This song is close to our hearts as it is very indicative of what do as a band live and in studio. GARBAGE MAN was created on the spot during a sound check before one of our very fist live shows. It sounded so damn good we thought we would include it on our Debut Album “DIRTY DALE”.

    Our philosophy as musicians is about being able to play from the inside out, meaning you can play what you feel. Our live show is very representative of this as we stretch and improv most of our songs, and we make up songs on the fly. We believe this is where true musicianship comes into play from a spiritual aspect. Anyway, we really dig it as it represents the band pretty well. I hope you dig it! Also, GO VOTE FOR US at the NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL! This would be a great opportunity for us to take the band to the next level in our journey. Peace and Love all.

    To all fans and friends please email management@dirtydaleband.com so we can get a fee song out to you. Just request which one you want.

    Cheers!

    Hey Quinn,

    We have had a lot of fun watching our song wiggle up the charts on OurStage every day; it really adds something extra special to look forward to when getting online in the morning.

    Moreover, our song, Ohlone, is about the indigenous sixth century people of our home, the San Francisco Bay Area. It is also about the relationship between what happened to them, where we are headed, and “all that remains” when everything disappears from right under your feet. I learned of their existence in a cultural anthropology class at our local community college, and have always felt a bit melancholy and ashamed at the way we have imperialized their land and washed away their culture. Most of us will never even know of their existence.

    Therefore, like all musicians looking for a new theme, we wrote a song about it, and are very proud to add it to our repertoire. We’ll be watching to see how far “Ohlone” tops in the OurStage charts; and beyond the songs message, we hope that people like our overall sound as well.

    Thanks Quinn,
    Dennis (guitarist of Sentinel)

    Hey Quinn! I am so happy to be in the top 20! I really wanted to share with ourstage that I am definately a female artist who enjoys setting trends, bending rules, and breaking music barriers! I am an eccentric artist and my song 'Who do you think you are?' is definately catchy, cutting edge, and clever. Playing my song today for ourstage fans would really melt my heart! Thanks Quinn!

  • Posted by Kevin Carr on Jun 27 at 9:48 AM EDT
    Hi Quinn,
    I'm Kevin Carr and my video is "I'm Too Old for American Idol" by Bellylove. When a lot more "fans" were voting It finished number 5 out of 1150 to get into the Q-Finals, after staying in the top 8 for over a week. This is a protest song, pointing out that we are sick of the television media and big executives dictating to us as a society who we listen to and who is the next "star". The song really shares the same mission of what you're doing here on OurStage. I would really like you to play it for everyone so that they can see it all the way through and think about the message of never giving up, whether you're too old, too fat, have a zit on your face or whatever. The top 20 videos are all really great and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we want people watch them in their entirety and really enjoy them.
    Thank you for the great site and all your hard work!
    -Kevin Carr

  • Posted by Borderline Eleven on Jun 27 at 9:27 AM EDT
    Hey Quinn!
    This is Borderline Eleven--the best New Hampshire band nobody’s ever heard of! [Yet.]
    In May, our song “On Top of Everything” finished second in the SoulFest channel and won us a performance slot for August 2nd in Gilford, NH. This month, it’s in the semi’s in the Christian/Spiritual channel, and we’re psyched to have made it that far. We are trying to do something different in Christian music style-wise and breaking out of a mold isn’t easy. And because we are writing alternative rock tunes with positive themes and clean lyrics, we are gaining a crossover following in secular music as well. This song comes from our demo-turned-EP—at the demand of our quickly growing fan base when we started out in 2006. We were basically 15, 16 when we wrote & recorded it. We have grown as artists in two years and our new music is a lot of fun, pretty different. New CD in the works.
    We’d love for OurStage fans to check us out and throw lots of votes our way by midnight tonight to get us in the Top Ten! Thanks for the support. And thanks OurStage for all you are doing to help musicians everywhere!
    Borderline Eleven ~ Andy, Dan, Joe, Luke, Monica--Mgr.

    Hi Quinn, this is Robert from FUNKMATA. Thanks for the mail you bounced me. I would love to join the partyline and bring a few fans but I'm 8 hours flight time away from the States. I'm in Ghana and produced the track Realpayback right here in Accra, at Hush Hush Studios. I believe you could spin my track 'cos it was #1 for a day in April on the Jazz channel on ourstage and was amongst the top 10 for the first week of April. I think FUNKMATA are the only band from Ghana on Ourstage, which clearly depicts our International stance as to the style and quality of our music.
    That aside, the track has won honours in 2 songwriting competitions namely songoftheyear.com and unisong.com.
    If you believe in trade and not aid then spin Realpayback and let the fans tell us what they think of Therapeutic FUNK coming from the tropical shores of Gahna.
    Hope to hear from you again. Peace.
    Robert of project FUNKMATA.

    Hi Quinn,

    I like your name, your mouth has to make a interesting shape to say it. I am Ryan and I play drums for the completely un-known Band; Sunrise, Sunset and we are in the Cosmic Break contest for the L10k lakes festival in Detroit Lake MN. We would be honored if you would grace the airwaves with a section of our song. It's titled, "A Live Cut of Our Song"vits just a sections of the 30 minute opus we've created. We're in like 6th place or something right now and it'd be super rad to play in our home state! Thanks for the opportunity!

    Love Ryan and the rest of Sunrise, Sunset

I hope you play my song "Down the Line" because it is an OurStage anthem. "You picked me out in a crowd..."

  • Posted by ZAK DANIELS on Jun 27 at 2:00 AM EDT
    Hiya Quinn!

    Thanks for the note and heads-up about your show on Friday. As per your request, here's the reason you should play TIMELESS TRAVELERS (Southern Rock) by ZAK DANIELS AND THE ONE EYED SNAKES:

    It will bring the entire planet together in blissful world peace for the duration of the song. Notwithstanding, everyone's car loans, mortgages, and any outstanding balances owed to loan sharks or even the I.R.S. will be instantly erased! Moreover, it will rock yer socks and probably rock a few undies and thongs as well. Last but not least, everyone who is within earshot of this song will get laid within seven hours. Okay, so I stretched it a little bit... actually it's 9 hours!

    Love and Peace from Venice CA,
    Z

  • Posted by SHAPIRO PROJECT on Jun 26 at 11:27 PM EDT
    Hi Quinn,

    thank you for your e-mail. I would like to ask you, please to play my composition "Grace" (by the Shapiro Project, competing in JVC Jazz Festival Newport)tomorrow.

    My name is Eugene Shapiro and I am a Jazz guitarist, composer (I wrote "Grace") and bandleader of the Las Vegas based Jazz group called the Shapiro Project.

    I think you should play "Grace" because it is a very beautiful composition. Yes, it is a real Jazz composition (Latin Bossa Nova), but at the same time it is very easy to love and appreciate by any music fan. I say that because the harmony (chords) are extremely pretty, the melody is gorgeous and the groove (rhythm) is simply irresistible, very dancy and groovy. On top of that "Grace" features very expressive and energetic playing by my band, the Shapiro Project.

    I wrote "Grace" so it can be loved by serious Jazz musicians and lovers, but also by anybody who's just looking for good, beautiful music. I think (I am very modest) I have succeeded with "Grace."

    Unfortunately I can not participate in the Life Chat tomorrow because I'll be renovating (painting) my house at that time Happy-dark, but I hope you can play my composition. I know you will like it and so will the fans.

    Thanks so much in advance!

    Quinn, thanks for taking time to check out my song. My name's Ash Machnick from The Sunflower Company and my song is Amazonite. It's a great tune with an element of ecological consciousness to it. My goal is to raise awareness about issues threatening our biosphere by drawing people into the natural beauty of our planet. The video also aims to provide some simple info and ideas about what can be done immediately.

    Thanks Again!

    Quinn!! Thanks a million for putting all this together, and I will be there tomorrow! I would love for you to play my song "Angelfire"...why? Well because the fans want to feel inspired! And you have to give the fans what they want! Happy-dark

    Many thanks, love, peace & joy...

    Hello, Quinn.

    It would be really rad if you could play "August on the Atlantic" during your Party Line tomorrow for the Rock channel. I will be sneaking out of work to participate. It has been a long week...Anyway, if you want some good comic relief, check out the best angry beer toss ever! This tells you what kind of week it's been. 20 seconds into this video, an irate customer launches a drink at me, while the band plays on! Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm-CVtgp610

    Hi Quinn!

    Thanks for the partyline set up, sounds great! You should play my song because that would be letting love in - "Let Love In" by Cheryl Hill - video in the top 20! Rock on!

    Thanks for the opportunity to network! Playing BOUND TOGETHER in Indie Pop and the sultry SHE in Jazz are sure to please the fans during the event. And speaking of fans.... They are the BEST!
  • Posted by jeffgarlick on Jun 26 at 10:28 PM EDT
    Hey Quinn!

    Looking forward to the Party broadcast tomorrow! Would you PLEASE play my VERY good friend April Start's song "Desperately Seeking You"? She is SO gifted and it's such a great thing to hear a positive voice! April is a ray of sunshine - that would be a cliche' if it were said about anyone else but trust me, she's THAT good!

    Thanks For Hosting The Party And I'll Be Listening!

    Hey Quinn, Alright!!...My song "White Horse Anthem" makes the quarter finals and currently sits at number 2 in the Guitar Solo category! I definitely think you should play it on the party line and very loud I might add. In fact it's one of the songs I plan to play live during a (private) fireworks display on July 4th. Now tell me this song wasn't made to accompany pyrotechnics.
  • Posted by Lori Cunningham on Jun 26 at 10:03 PM EDT
    Wow - a lot people want you to play their song tomorrow! And.... I'm no different, lol!!! So Hi Quinn! My name is Lori Cunningham and I really think you should play my song, "Empty Well [Overflow Mix]" tomorrow during your party line. My track has been at the #1 spot for two straight in Techno. People are loving it and they will love to hear it tomorrow as well. I'll send a shout-out to all of my fans letting them know about it. You can count me and as many people as I can muster up to be there!

    yo Quinn was up man I think you should play my song "Im A G" its 4th in the hip-hop charts and has been bouncing around a bit I feel that my song should be played because its a hot track overall and the feel of the tracks is great it has a nice vibe and its an attention grabber so give it a shot and hopefully i can take the top spot on the hip-hop charts it will be a great look for me
  • Posted by MusicFan78 on Jun 26 at 9:57 PM EDT
    Hey Quinn,
    You should play April Start's song, "Desperately Seeking You" tomorrow on the partyline. She is in the top ten in the Christian/Spiritual category and she's just amazing! I've been a long time fan of April's and if anyone deserves to win this it's her! She's a gifted siger/songwriter that should have been signed a long time ago!

    Thanks,
    John
  • Posted by renegadesworldwide on Jun 26 at 9:37 PM EDT
    Hey Quinn! I think you should play "Top That" by Renegades on the party line this Friday. It's in the top 2 for electronica which tells me that if there's enough people voting for it to be ranked so high there, there would probably be a whole lot more people out there who'd want to hear it!
    Thanks

  • Posted by mikedunbar on Jun 26 at 9:23 PM EDT
    Hi Quinn,
    I think you should play "Papa Hawg" for the fans. It's an acoustic fingerpick instrumental in the Instrumental Finals with some Southern Rock thrown in. Think of the fingerpicking passages of Fleetwood Mac or Kansas. Maybe some Bert Jansch or Pentangle. A dash of Gordon Lightfoot. All picking a tribute to the Papa Hawg, a Harley riding acoustic bluesman who's popping wheelies in Heaven. That's "Papa Hawg" give it a listen.

    Thanks, Mike

    Hey Quinn, Ourstage Rocks! This is my first month as a member and I have three songs in the quarter finals. Shine, Lift Me Up and Crickets Symphony. Shine has spent most of the month at #1 in Christian/spiritual, but you'll get addicted to Lift Me Up if you hear it so I suggest you give either of those a listen.

    THANKS your Awesome!

    Hi Quinn,

    My song "If I Didn't Know Better" is a quarter finalist this month in contemporary/soft rock. It placed 9th in country in April. I smell a crossoverHappy-dark lol I'd be honored if youd give it a spin tomorrow. You guys and girls @ Ourstage rock!!!

    Thanks,

  • Posted by Temple Scene on Jun 26 at 6:38 PM EDT
    Hi Quinn! Not sure how we managed it, but we've got three songs in the quarter finals, in different categories. It would be great if you played one of the three tracks - perhaps Breathing, if you're after something energetic! Happy-dark

    howdy Quinn, "the other chris hardy" here. i'm in the quarterfinals too, but my song is called "i can't do anything with a box". i heard it in a dream so i wrote it. that's not plagarism, is it? it's in the experimental category and you should play it because all my weird fans will be there to hear it. plus the guitar riff makes people foam at the mouth. and i bet you've never heard a piccolo bass guitar solo before - i played a blistering one in this song!
  • Posted by northernroom on Jun 26 at 6:14 PM EDT
    Hi Quinn! We are Northern Room, and we have two tracks in the Quarterfinals, We're On Fire in the Pop channel and For All These Years in the Alt. Rock channel. It would be great if you could play them during your PartyLine tomorrow. We love OurStage and the exposure that it offers independent bands like us.
  • Posted by Lorin Christopher on Jun 26 at 5:48 PM EDT

    Would really appreciate you playing my song "What My Heart Sees". This song was the first I ever wrote and was to and for my wife who passed away of cancer in February. It is currently number 1 in country on Ourstage and I hope it carries through at that spot. I'm sure you could help it with some airplay. It is a song that tells about what the heart sees as apposed to the cruelty of aging and illness. Think "Shallow Hal" if you know the movie. Thanks for listening. My name is Laurence Butterfield.

  • Posted by DJ KABAlL on Jun 26 at 4:51 PM EDT
    Hey Quinn, I think you should play my song, DJ KABAlL - Myan Temple (The Sacrifice) because it is a hidden gem. It only got some play time on the experimental genre because people here are more open minded then other genre's. I don't think that a lot of people took the time to scan through the song to hear it's true colors and this would be a great opportunity to show the community as a whole what I'm made of! thanks for the opportunity Quinn. cheers m8

    Thnx!! -Daria
  • Posted by Jimfre Bacal on Jun 26 at 4:41 PM EDT
    Thanks to the fans for voting Gods Way into the quarter-finals instrumental channel. Please, Quinn, only play the song if you like it. It is too long a song(6:00MIN) to play the whole thing. I think it would more fair to other artists if you faded out after a few minutes... I have to work during the scheduled broadcast, so let me say "YaY" , "Ay", and "Bonjour" from your Canuck buddy in Vancouver, Canada
  • Posted by Tamed Animals on Jun 26 at 4:40 PM EDT
    Hey,
    Could you play "Trust Yourself" (By Tamed Animals) tomorrow? I think it is a unique song and clearly deserves a little love. I think it is the type of thing people would expect from experimental music.
    Thanks,

  • Posted by gogoPilot on Jun 26 at 2:45 PM EDT
    What's Shakin' Quinn?!?

    This is Matt from gogoPilot. Thanks for setting up the partyline for Friday. It seems like it'll be a pretty cool thing to get some good music heard!

    Check out our songs "Blow Up Slowly" (Newport Folk Fest top 20) and "One Step Away" (CMJ top 20).

    Blow Up Slowly is a tune that draws you in on the edgey lyrics and simple guitar intro and then blasts you away with it's powerful big ending.

    One Step Away is a catchy and fun tune that drives through until the end where the music switches up and moves into a sort of bluesy chaotic clash.

    Hope you and everyone enjoys!
    See Ya Friday!

What I think you'll like about the song is it's catchy and smart at the same time. It's pop music, but it's not dumb music. It's also been hovering at (or around) #1 for several weeks, show that it has appeal among OurStage listeners. I hope you love it! Thanks Quinn. -- Jesse

    You should play my song because it will make you thinner, reduce male pattern baldness, increase your intelligence, pay off your debt, increase the odds of return on your investments, walk your dog, increase your sexual stamina and performance, and raise your standard of living.

    Just to name a few.

    What's up Quinn??!! This is SANI G aka "The Midwest Monstar", and i have a song called "I'M GONE SHINE" which is currently ranked #10 in HIP-HOP. I'm asking that you give it a spin or two during the partyline. We been getting a good vibe from this one. It's been getting alot of spins through out the MIDWEST. It's a club song, but the streets love it as well. We put alot of time and energy into this business. I appreciate the invitation to join the live chat and would love to. I'm going to get as many people as i can to join the live chat and show support to myself and others. Ourstage is definitely a great outlet for showcasing talented independant artists. Thanxx in advance. Much love.
  • Posted by Roy Schneider on Jun 26 at 1:49 PM EDT
    Hello, Quinn!

    I'd appreciate it if you would play "Molly's Song" in the folk category during the partyline chat tomorrow, because it's real and sincere, and though it is a pretty personal song written during some tough times with my growing teenage daughter, a surprising number of people of different walks of life and age groups have identified with it. I get it requested frequently at my live shows, which I really didn't expect when I recorded it.

    Thanks mucho!

    I'd just like to apologise for the omission of the letter "i" in your name in my recent salutation. Not only that, it was a bit too chummy of me to call you "Quinny" when I've never even met you. Inexcusable really. Hairshirt it is, then.
    All the best,

  • Posted by Death to Anders on Jun 26 at 1:21 PM EDT
    Hey Quinn!!

    Rob from Death to Anders here.... Yes! Please play our song "Camera Lens" this Friday. Camera Lens is the perfect song to play because so many musicians, singers, and songwriters involved in Ourstage can relate to this song. The song describes the struggles musicians and performers have when involving themselves in music communities such as local music scenes, myspace, and even Ourstage. Its very easy for musicians to feel overwhelmed and see their peer's achievements as "competition" instead of feeling happy, inspired, and proud to be amongst them. We all have jealous feelings every now and again and its through this song, that I try to show people that we all need to forget about these feelings (as hard as it may be) and instead work together as a team. Go out and be a part of a music community. Create one if you there isn't one where you live. Its all about being positive and supporting your fellow musicians, no matter what.

  • Posted by Steve Robinson on Jun 26 at 1:14 PM EDT
    Qunny,
    I think it'd be funny if you were to give my song "Forget About Love" a spin on Friday, if for no other reason that it somehow made the quarter finals in the Americana category...and I'm originally from Scunthorpe, England, which is just about as far away from Americana as one can get. It's a laugh innit?
    Cheers,

  • Posted by The New Breed Society on Jun 26 at 1:14 PM EDT
    What's up Quinn, thanks for the email being number one (at least at the time this comment is being typed) is a great honor there's so many great songs on the Hip-Hop channel and being one of the elite few to make it to the semi-finals is beyond belief.

    Tha Partyline is a great opportunity to gain even more fan exposure I mean let's be honest Ourstage.com is doing so much for the up and coming artist that's it's almost unbelievable.

    I am Lord Mayhem V2 of The New Breed Society and I believe that "Trunk Full" should be played due to the fact that Hip-Hop should be represented to the fullest,there are nothing but great songs in all genres on Ourstage but as I read the comments I see that Hip-Hop is not being represented. We in The New Breed Society feel blessed and honored to even be in the position to go "heads up" with future stars such as "The Lockboyz" "Bet Butler"
    "Nate "YoungBoy" Savary" and a host of other talented individuals but all respect is due first to Ourstage for giving us this chance to to show what we can do...and thank you Quinn for being the voice of Ourstage.

    My name is Nick Latrenta. I would love for you to play my acting reel! Why? Because so many people have so lovingly gone out of their way to vote for my reel and place me so high in the ranks of some amazing actors! I would love to be featured at this time and I think it would be great for you to break up the songs with some acting!

    Thanks and I'm looking forward to Friday!

    Hi Quinn!

    I hope you've had a chance to listen to "Found Out", currently in the Top Twenty in Contemporary. If you like it, give it a spin. I've been a songwriter/performer for years, and have songs in several categories, including indie pop, songwriter, folk and americana....I've had 3 of my songs in the Top Ten in the past 3 months, so if you have any time to listen, check out my other material. Okay, that's enough shameless self promotion for one day. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks!
