Alternate version of an original song of the same name.

Church Without Walls 2.1

Who am I? I am folk-gospel-blues-influenced singer/songwriter. I have a decent voice, though I am not classically trained. I am a self-taught guitar and mandolin player though I don’t consider myself an expert at either. I do play a pretty mean blues harp (yep, self taught too). Over the years, I have collaborated with other artists more talented than me who inspire me and have made me a better musician.

Bad Boll Productions: named after the springs in Germany known for their healing properties(and a center for the Blumhardts was the name of my 1990s era cabin studio in the mountains of West Virginia. Using Performa on an Apple Mac with an EMU Orchestral Synth, a Tascam 424 4-Track, and various other instruments and equipment with a number of collaborators, I experimented with and produced several analog neo folk electronica compositions. Later I was able to digitize these directly from the 4 Track originals. Many of these compositions have never been released (probably a good thing for some:) 

The Belly Hymns Project: refers to the CD Belly Hymns released near the end of this era and so the Belly Hymns Project is the landing place for the songs that predate Belly Hymns as well as remixes of the songs on Belly Hymns as well as newer related work. When she was pregnant with me, my mama says that I danced in her womb in time to the hymns at church. That’s probably where the name comes from. I’m still learning to keep letting the music move me.

The Lost Gap: is the current manifestation of Jeremiahs Run, my American Roots band from the 90s. Lost Gap, Miss. is my hometown. (theLostGap.com)

peacegroover: is my nom de artist for all things electronica. From those early Bad Boll days to now, I continue to be amazed at the melodic possibilities. 

I welcome your thoughts and insights. Let’s build something beautiful. KMLS
