Listen to best dreams here http://li.sten.to/bestdreams So Best Dreams was inspired by a moment, when a person I love dearly was really struggling to see anything good in the world, because of demands of modern life, work and covid. Almost the whole can’t see the trees for the woods idea. Hence the lyric line, “I’ve…

So it’s been a while since my last update. The release of “SHOULD HAVE LET YOU KNOW” was for me very successful and I’ve been working hard on getting more new music out to the world. The second single to be released was “Can’t Believe It’s Come To This” which featured art from the wonderful…

Huge update. So when I started this page, I was planning to mostly do Youtube videos reviewing gear and playing some cool guitar solos. But over this process something began to brew in me, I had really wanted to record my own new music. What I didn’t expect would be that my main bands gigs…

Well I love “That Pedal Show,” and I was searching for another overdrive. So logically I checked out some reviews for the D&M Drive and decided it was the thing for me. After a few months of gigging I took it off my board and reviewed it!! (link below) https://youtu.be/P-C3F6ZyTl8 So how can you win…

Had the idea for this song on the way home from school (I’m a teacher) On the last day of school (before the lockdown took place.) I was driving home and the whole melody and lyrics hit me. In fact I pulled over and recorded myself singing into my phone before I even got home.…

Firstly I have to say that I’m a total believer in tone wood. I had a tele back in the day that sounded muddy and I always thought this isn’t right why is this so dark. So on day I went about trying to find a set of pickups that would make it sound bright…

This song came about when I got a new Fuzz pedal. The JHS Pollinator https://reverb.com/p/jhs-pollinator-v2-fuzz-pedal after a day or two playing around with it and a Octavia by T-Rex, I got hit with this killer riff. So it had to become a song. All recorded in my studio (meaning zero budget) So I’m pretty happy…

I’ve always struggled with singing. It seem that any time you put your voice out there, you get everybody telling you what you should do differently. (you put to much into your vocal and it’s hard to understand, your style is not my thing) Saying that, I wrote this song after going on camp with…

So I guess this mission all started when I had my son. I needed to find a way of recording guitar at night and I wanted to do it on somewhat of a budget. Since his birth I have tried multiple different software amps and direct recording solutions. Up until making the isobox I was…
