Details:
I started singing when I was a junior in college, but had been playing musical instruments (violin and, later, guitar) off and on since I was in elementary school. I was inspired to be a performer chiefly from two childhood experiences. The first was after seeing Michael J. Fox playing Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Good on the movie Back to the Future. The second was after seeing Elvis Presley singing Hound Dog on the Milton Berle Show (via a History of Rock and Roll videotape). From that point on I said, to quote John Lennon, “That looks like a good job”.
I grew up listening to every kind of African-American music from R&B to Jazz, Rock, and Gospel. Country and folk music became an acquired taste after listening to Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. I couldn’t focus on only one genre so I started performing in all of them while I was in college. Hopefully that melting pot continues to provide inspiration for the future.
Sketches of Lenore was a project I began in late 2008 as a way to get out of my system some of the sentiments and issues that had been revolving around my mind. I had been listening to a lot of solo John Lennon, late-period Elvis Presley, and Bob Dylan’s Tell Tale Signs at the time, and I’m sure some of that influence mixed with my own style and found its way into the music. Sketches of Lenore is a simple EP that doesn’t pretend to break any new ground. It is simply a collection of music that I needed to get off my chest.
