THE RODEO is the story of an aspiring rodeo star as he chases his dream to make it in the big leagues. Accompanied by his faithful dog, Bishop Mojave, Our Hero travels the country following the path of the amateur circuit in hopes that each stop will get him closer to his dream of making a living in the Rodeo. THE RODEO is based both on a real person, as well as my own experiences traveling the country, chasing dreams.

The driving theme inferred by the project name "Motorist Sketchbook" and the image of the open road, refer to the typical source of inspiration for these songs. Most of them have come to me while driving. I see something (visual) that sparks an idea or an observation worth writing a song about. These mental "sketches" are then developed in my home recording studio. 

These song recordings are demo tracks; recorded, edited, and mixed in my modest home studio, using a two-input PreSonus Audiobox and Studio One software.

The songs (lyrics and instrumentation) were written and played/edited by me, Steve Lundgren. (unless otherwise noted)

The drums are programmed. I played the remaining instruments as direct input with most effects being applied in the DAW (digital audio workstation). 

Multi-tracked electric guitars and 5 string bass. 
Vocals by me using a basic Blue Yeti microphone. 

The software was typically used as a creative tool. 
These tracks are songwriting demos. Everything you hear is a placeholder. 

The hope is to someday assemble a band of professionals to record and perform these songs live. Leaving me the luxury of singing them with great accompaniment. Hey, I can dream, right?
