Music has always been at the very core of 'who' I am....and I like that in the fact that it's always changing.  I'm still working on "Worth The Wait", and it WILL be out this year come hell or high water.  You can actually catch an updated version of the instrumental tracks for both 'Nightwind' and "The Color of Light" as recent uploads here.  

Because work has been so very sparse and sporadic for the last year, I've definitely taken SoundCloud up on the "Artist Support" button.  If you have enjoyed my songs, both original and cover music, and are so inclined I'd be honored and humbled and very appreciative.  

The album itself has a playlist here of the mostly-most current versions of the tunes, with a few taken down for a variety of personal reasons.  But it is coming along nicely, with some songs finally being able to BE finished... they still had some growing, and I'm not ashamed of that.  And, as I'm doing all the recording, writing, arranging, and re-writing myself with no input or assistance, this is a painstakingly long process for 13 songs, and trying to keep life in order at the same time.  I thank you all for those who have had and expressed patience at the final project - I really think you're going to like it.  It is as unique and personal as I myself am, and I'm sure you are too.  I have not really heard anything like it out there and I am super happy about that - as well as the fact that with each song that I've played for friends/family/school friends, the one thing that is most often said is that they found themselves humming the tune sometimes even days later, and then realizing it was my song.  If that's not the sign of a good hook, I don't know what is.

I get asked / chided about the bulk of cover material that is here and on my YouTube channel.  It is just as a matter of rehearsing and keeping my voice in some kind of shape.  I post the items here for no other reason than to share the power of music.  These songs have all touched me in some way, and I hope you enjoy them too.

As always, thanks for the notes of encouragement, understanding where a song is coming from, and the wonderful support,  Never give up on a dream.

I am Simon Robinson and I am also Not Your Dad, which I think works on one level at the very least. Hear me roar. I hail from the English hamlet of Historic Chatham Upon Medway, Kent. I don't take myself too seriously. I like playing ukulele and bass guitar. Note about the stock photos, these kids are all sad because I'm not their dad.

Empty Frets record original songs and covers on Ye Olde four track recorder, sharing the vocals, using double bass, guitar, a broken banjo, and plenty of ukulele. They also perform live - mostly in and around The New Forest.
