I work at songwriting with temperament and a fair amount tempestuousness. I get inspired to put together words, music and melodies out of an appreciation for storytellers John Hiatt and Rodney Crowell and songwriters like Neil Finn, Chuck Prophet and Ron Sexsmith. My father would bring home garbage bags full of old 45 records so that I could rummage through. They must have been tossed-out of someone’s old collection. And there they were in front of me and I needed them! Some silenced from the weight of garbage and grime and others pristine without a single scratch. I lived at the turntables as I rummaged through discovering what’s next.
Years later, I would take a pilgrimage to Austin, Texas towing two suitcases and $500 in the bank. I used the time to cut my teeth as a songwriter among the fertile landscape of the “ Live Music Capital of the World ”. The thriving music scene yielded a bounty of musical experiences and sense of community like no other. Each passing season allowed provisions of a burgeoning sound to mingle with my wry lyrics, energetic rhythms, and melodies!
I live in Sonoma. Ca. As a touring artist and singer-songwriter for my own band The Heartsleeves I stay busy. I invite you out for a spell or two as I embark through the unknown sharing my music one peoples at a time and with the world!
My new release “A.M. Sessions” is out now and available at live shows and on all platforms. - S.R.
