Name: Ants Marching (DMB Cover- Full Band Collaboration) by Ross Smithe
Duration: 4 min 55 s
Description: An online collaboration partner/drummer buddy asked me recently if I would help put together a cover of the Dave Matthews Band classic Ants Marching. Quite an adventure getting it done, but here it is! Fabulous contributions from the cast of characters: Craig- Drums; Ross M.- Guitar; Fabian- Bass; Fiz- Sax. I am on vocals, keys (synth violin and organ), and mix/master.

Great job for everyone involved!  Kudos to your drummer buddy for the suggestion, and he played some very good drums!

The DMB sound is so recognizable - bang-up job on this song guys.  Uncanny likeness to Matthew's vocal Ross.

HOPE FOR HUMANITY - Vocals for Collabs

Our love letter to the gothic 80s to mark the end of our first year of writing songs together!
It’s been a blast and here’s to many more 🥂

Burn the Evidence

80s style rock/shred mess around track. Most of the solos and the main riff in this were originally ideas I wrote back around 2009/2010.
This was only supposed to be around 3 minutes long but whatever lol.
Most of the song was recorded on my fender strat.

Ants Marching (DMB Cover- Full Band Collaboration)

My Frist Track for the new album. Mixing with my new high end equipment. A song of reflection about the early music festival scene near San Francisco  where I grew up.

Freedom Free Love Free To Be Heard by GLEN GRANTHEM
Play it like you use to play it when you were young
Tearing up a fret board until you reached number one
Spend those days on the green lost in the crowd
Shoulder to shoulder as the band rocks out
Singing songs about peace and love and Smoking grass as guitars strum

Day after day the music was life 
Turntables spin all through the night
One hand on a pipe carved out of stone
All your friends felt right at home
With both hands in the air and Every face wore long hair
Viet Nam was miles away  Every song had its place
Solo
The sixties were like no other time in our life
Draft cards ,Protests , Equal rights
We were coming of age to save the world
Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard
Singing songs about peace and love Smoking grass as Guitars Strum
With Both hands in the air 
Singing Songs About Peace and Love.....

Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard ( Original ) with Lyrics

Hi I'm Ross, and I'm a singer, musician, songwriter, and producer. Let's connect and share our creativity with one another!
