How I Dreamt of Putting Together My Own Americana Band

For me, there is nothing like playing great songs with awesome musicians.  When I see my favorite bands live, I am transported to another dimension.  That’s why when I decided to build my own Americana Band, I wanted to pay tribute to all those great artists I had seen before.  From early on, I played lots of live shows any chance I got and I’ve been putting bands together since before I was a teenager, so I believe that all these experiences have made me ready as a songwriter and performer to bring together all the right musicians for this current Americana Band.  There are a lot of elements to creating a great band, like musicianship, personalities, experience, and influences, but of greatest importance to me is the musician’s feel for the music and desire to play these specific songs.  Because, after all, they’re going to have to play them a lot.

I’m always so excited at the possibilities of performing quality, timeless music like some of my influences like Tom Petty, The Pretenders, Fleetwood Mac and Bruce Springsteen, that I knew I had to build this group from the ground up with the best musicians possible.  Because I know what it’s like to be moved deeply by a great performance (have you ever seen Springsteen?) I have always had a dream of building a great Americana Band to play my songs and a passion to give the audience a great show to remember.
