ABOUT

Interested in a project to write and record an EP or album. I gravitate most to jazz, indie rock, classic country western and indie country sounds. Guitar centric music for the most part. Really enamored with that classic pedal steel sound and inserting it into non-country genres. I put up some random demos of things I've worked on. Everything you hear is me. I'm not a good lyricist or singer - maybe you're better at that? There's an oldschool, very *hot* method of electronic mail service via which I can be reached if you use the handle bcpriess......

I practice regularly, and am available about once a week to work on stuff.

Influences

I like a lot of music. Spoon, weezer, strokes, Wolf Parade, New Order, Rolling Stones, Kid A/Amnesiac, guitar based indie rock in general. Zach Bryan, Jesse Daniel, Stax/Volt/Atlantic style soul. Stones, Replacements, MBV, Cake, Prince, Twilight Singers, 40s-80s country western music (Ernest/Merle/Buck/Waylon/Willie/Dwight etc), hard jazz, Anderson.Paak, Ghanan high life music, etc. I listen to a lot of music besides that out of curiosity to see what people are up to.

I'm not really into most blues/metal/rap/grunge kind of stuff but there are exceptions. Just isn't my vibe.
