Creating my own music has always been an important part of what I do. The last couple of years has seen a little more concentration on writing. I'm delighted to share a little bit of that with you here. Check back often, as new demos are in the works.
A new recording of an older song. First recorded by Sin Tax in 2007. All racket generated by me.

Having some fun experimenting in Garageband with my friend Rich Rossi.
This came out much more "poppy" than I expected.
And that's ok.
