I work at songwriting with temperament and a fair amount of 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. I grew up in Northern California. My father would bring home garbage bags full of old 45 records that I would rummage through all afternoon. “Someone must have tossed them out of their collection.” I’d think..but, there they were in front of me and I needed them! There were some caked with garbage and grime and others pristine without a single scratch. I would get excited to drop the needle and hear what’s next. What a gift!
Years later, I’d take a pilgrimage to Texas with two suitcases and $500 in the bank. I used the time to cut my teeth among the open-mics and songwriters’ night’s. Those type of shows were in abundance at the time I was around town, I really got into listening to the other writers play and talk about music. The “Live Music Capital of the World”, Austin’s music scene yielded a bounty of musical experiences that I draw on today.
I live in Sonoma County, California. 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 with a crazy world one persons at a time. I am grateful.
My new release “A.M. Sessions” is out now and available at live shows and on all platforms. - S.R.
