The C Word


A friend suggested to me last week that my music is Country Indie Blues, meanwhile I have pitched for setting my tent up as Acoustic Folk Pop... but given so many influences it's hard to know how to best present - well, tag, your music making efforts! I love Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift as much as the next girl and people oft say I remind them of country artists they love such as Lucinda Williams and the like, so maybe there is some Nashville in my writing afterall! 

But it's far from clear cut... For example, my EP features what I would say are my most pop-like songs, but they also have indie, blues, retro, country influences... While this track Won't Be The Same - a very mellow track - is more blues, folk, pop - or is it? Who am I to tell you what you think my music should be categorised as in your little brainbox?! 


While I have a small existential crisis, do feel free to feedback how you think I tackle this 'what am I?' question, meanwhile ponder a few live dates I have coming up in this here Liverpool...

Still crazy after all these years

What a busy time I've had this year gigging all over the place, meeting new friends, having a big birthday and now time to make my first music video! The video will feature my song titled She Never Sleeps Alone found on my debut EP and inspired by the Todd White painting of the same name.

Songwriting times

 This is my Fender Malibu and with the help of this pretty little thing I have been working on a new song, entitled Until Now... There have been a distinct lack of songwriting times in my life of late, for various reasons, but it's worth remembering that more life content = more songwriting content, that is to say, what goes in must come out ^_^ 

I'll post a work-in-progress demo on my soundcloud this weekend so you can give me some feedback, lots of gigs coming up including Chorlton Arts Festival this weekend, Liverpool Soundcity next weekend and a spot performing for the 3 Queens weekend, so come along and see me if you are free/ in the area: below are my upcoming dates with more to be confirmed as the summer arrives...
