Join The Dots.WAV

'Can't Go Back' has been a while (for me) in the making and is my current favourite off the soon to be released 9th album. The guitar riff dates from last summer and the lyrics and harmonies from last month. The outro was a lot of fun as was doing the bass and the guitar solo, Les Paul harmonics squealing from an evil rectifier setting. Enjoy.

Can't Go Back.WAV

A laid back groove on this one. A cheeky guitar lick and gently building for a change of pace and a Kossofesque solo to really chill it out. Enjoy the View.

View From Here.WAV

Fresh for February a rousing rocker with bags of energy, harmonies and a fire solo!  Last release before Album 9 in March, roll on Spring.

Silver Lining.WAV

A new track for Spring. Short & sweet 3 minute style. 
Cherrydot laying down the riff through the verses , lively drums, a sneaky left speaker solo, psychedelic middle 8 and direct final chorus. 
Album 9 out April 14th.

Keep On.WAV

There's a definite summer sound here with a major 7 vibe. Cow bell is up there too and a cheeky very squelchy Wah wah solo to end on. 
Thought after the last '9' album that needed to put this track out there particularly as I'm three tracks into the next project. Enjoy and Bring on the sun.

Summer Wish.WAV

Cowbells, wah wah's, harmonies and a castle moon, that'll be 'Take it to the Moon',

Take It To The Moon.WAV

It's been a while for me since the last release so this title is apt. Album 10 is taking shape nicely with 4 additional tracks nearing completion. 
'Comes Round Again' is all Les Paul which commenced with the riff and middle eight which was just addictive. The temptation was to rock it up with heavier guitars which I resisted, well till the solo anyway! 
Till the next one , Enjoy.

Comes Round Again.WAV

As ever from me I've been told this is not your average rock song. Lead and Rhythm guitar is all Gibson 335 with a catchy riff and a chorus of harmonies, some cheeky guitar and drum fills held in place by slinky bass. The guitar rhythm is restrained (for me)and very addictive to play with an octave driven solo and staccato interlude which is not a phrase I use everyday! 
In summary it's 3.27 minutes of alternative rock pop and was a lot of fun to finalise.
The unfinished tracks are taking shape, though always interspersed with new songs and ideas vying for attention.
The music continues, enjoy!

The Things That You Love.WAV

An acoustic track to change the mood a little, see what you think.

Together.WAV

In complete contrast to last track 'Together', here's 'Man on the Run'. It's old school driven with both barrels, Les Paul tuned down and turned up through the Marshall and in full Crybaby Wah Wah mode in the solo. 
Catchy lyrics, harmonies and token tambourine assist in the momentum which is racing to the horizon. 
Very much in the vain of 'Lips on Mine', 'Gotta Get Up' and 'Easy as 123' it's full throttle, unapologetic and great fun. Enough hype, get your ears on it. 
2 more pending, a bluesy rocker and another riff blaster then onto some quieter sessions, honest.

Man On The Run.WAV

A short burst of jazz here, keeping it simple, low key and relaxed.
Fell in love with the tone which isn't from my jazzer guitar ES175 but on the 335 (pictured) showing it's versatility again!

Jazz 53.WAV

A cheeky riff instrumental groove to see you into November.

Rhythm Switch.WAV

A different course to 'Man on The Run', 'Happy Song' finds a psychedelic vibe leading to a killer riff. Loads of energy driving between the intro and middle eight interspersed with harmonies a positive vibe, and you guessed it, an electric quick-fire solo.
Still more to come.
Enjoy.

Happy Song.WAV

Another up-tempo belter. Harmonies, counter melodies and a bridge of guitars.  Turn it up!

It Fools You.WAV

A departure from the norm here and a strong focus on harmonies. It's poppy and fun fuelled, 60's themed with bags of energy. Enjoy!

Know You Now.WAV

Gibson Cherry Dot obsession continues. Inspired by exciting grooves and a 60’s vibe which I wear on my sleeve. There’s an eclectic mix of guitar fuelled rhythms all written, produced and performed by myself which have now culminated in 226 tracks in 5 years. Having added vocals to the mix this has brought a further depth and individuality to the songs. 2020 saw the creativity in writing and self releasing 2 EP's and 9 albums 'The Black Tulip' , 'Prismatic' , 'Who Would You Be?' , 'The Red Carpet', 'Cat & Mouse', ‘How This Plays Out', 'Positive Signs', 'All The Colours' and  '9' from April 2022, it's frenetic.
These are available on the usual outlets Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Pandora/Napster, Bandcamp etc.

Its eclectic, quirky I confess, British? Experimental in places but above all stuffed full with Gibson guitars, energy and a passion for music and life in the highs and lows that days of late bring.  Hope you appreciate the artwork too all photographed or produced by me to keep it authentic and original.

The tenth album 'Keep On' saw the development of style and flow which  includes my personal favourites 'The Things That You Love', 'Man on The Run' and the title track, 'Keep On'. These all adapted a different approach and development that simply wouldn't have occurred at the start of the journey,  

The music's progressing and the album 'The Perfect Storm' set the benchmark in online attention with the title track single. I think the style and sincerity of performance mirrored the fact that all of my tracks are written for a reason and sparked by quite intense life changing events behind the scenes, you couldn't write it or maybe I could ! 
Personal choices at the moment are the opener Can't Erase The Memory, I Can and of course the single The Perfect Storm. 

Twelfth album ‘Heart Of Blue’, is completed and recently released  September 6th 2024. It's been a while (for me) in the making and each track just builds on the last. The themes of resilience, belief and positivity remain and the music continues to be guitar driven and punchy with hooks and catchy melodies.  

Album 13 is entitled 'Every Time' and is released to all platforms on June 12th. To come so quickly after 'Heart Of Blue' says a lot about the inspiration and creative drive. Themes of resilience, perseverance, hope and love, dominate in what I believe is my most cognitive and mature album yet, see what you think.
 
I'm thankful the creativity continues. The fact the writing and playing still excites and intrigues is a bonus! Where there's a story to tell and a melody to be heard the last song is always my drug for the next, 13 albums in it's not abating anytime soon.
