Cold Day In Hell

I was born one of these music gifted kids. “Singing before talking, making rhythm before walking” kinda stuff. You know.

When I was nine I learned the “4 chords” on the family’s second hand Höfner copper stringed jazz guitar and the necessary moves I learned from watching their black and white television set.

And I took it the whole way. From garage to the inner capital city club circle topping in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.

My music is Lager Rock.

Lager Rock can be viewed as a kinda Rock n Roll toolbox which style’s was strangely sandwiched in between the Rock n Roll mainstreams of its day.
Lager Rock weld three Rock n Roll mainstreams together: Punk Rock, New Wave and classic electric Guitar Blues Rock.
It emerged in London in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s and spread like a bushfire all over Europe.
Pure condensed energy my friends.

I have and I will all ways play Lager Rock!
Through out my life, besides playing Lager Rock, I’ve been doing a ton of odd jobs from business consulting to flying airplanes. But I have never ever being anything close to selling my guitar and leaving Lager Rock and in that way too Rock n Roll.

But when my life moved into its fifty’s my not so healthy lifestyle caught up with me and in the last six years it seems like Grim Reaper now and then raised his tent in my back garden. You know just to stay close in case.

As I was spending my time mostly negotiating with Mr. Reaper a strange thought came to my mind. 
I have never issued any of my music. 
Oh yes I’ve made demo’s en mas but never ever a single, EP or album. 
Then and there I took a swift decision. Now it’s time!!!!

And here I am ladies and gentlemen. In my early sixties recording and issuing - senior - Lager Rock and of course also with a classic DIY invented title: DIY Senior Lager Rock Streamer.

So what’s the big chromed shining truth here?
1. I’m still alive and well and…
2. Rock n Roll WILL NEVER DIE.

And that’s all for now folks.

Yours sincerely,
Jan

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to visit this page, and especially anyone who buys our CD or individual tracks at CD Baby (see link below). I've played guitar since 1964, have been writing songs since 1966 and started playing with Beats Workin' in 1968. We got together at Twin Lakes WI just north of Chicago IL where our families all had summer homes. We recorded my first original song in 1971, I Feel Better Than You. We were playing Rock and Blues-R&B at this time, Rolling Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, CCR, Savoy Brown, Ten Years After, the Beatles, and lots of Chicago Blues ala Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Magic Sam, Howlin' Wolf, etc. In the late 70's I branched into Country music and Bluegrass, while still maintaining my interest in the Blues. I always had an interest in Country music, and the Urban Cowboy craze ca. 1980 created a lot of gigs. In 1985 I moved to Albuquerque NM with my wife Barbara and have been a fixture in the NM Country scene since then, with extensive work at the Caravan East, an iconic Country nightclub seen in my profile picture, often as house band, and warming up for numerous Country artists , including Asleep At The Wheel, Ray Price, Gene Watson, Razzie Bailey, Eddy Ravin, Neil McCoy, Jason D. Williams and others. In 2010 Beats Workin' recorded our album 24/7, and it is currently available @ CD Baby. I also have several videos on YouTube including Mother Road, I Don't Need No Blues, Mother Earth Is Blue and a Christmas Blues called Merry Christmas Baby. My music is a blend of Blues, Country and Rock primarily, but also is influenced by other American genres like Bluegrass, Cajun-Zydeco, Reggae, Jazz and Tex-Mex. I am  BMI artist.

About Me:
While I do record and release music independently, my true passion is in the songwriting. I would love to write with or for independent artists, so if you are interested in co-writing for your personal release or recording one of my songs, please reach out.

I played drums a little. I played piano a little.
Mostly I was a word man (poet, writer). 📝
I eventually gave up on my dreams. 🦢
