In memory of the love and life. Eija-Riitta... Returning to my first love music after losing My Wife and love of my life to cancer.
She wanted me to return to my music after giving it up to
support our Family. Typical musicians story. Maybe so. But my music soul has returned to express the soul and pain that was missing until now. I have written 40 + songs and presently recording
I am looking for vocal
harmony only.......
I have been singing and performing since 7 yoa. Solo, several bands and almost every genre's....
My voice has always been my instrument. 2+ octaves.
I am looking to for vocal harmony and colaborate with vocal centric types who understand harmony as the key to most musical expression.. Also looking for technical recording geeks to help put new sound together... A communion of a life time of R & B SOUL MUSIC...I am old school but know music especially vicals..
Not interested in weekend band wonders .. been there done that my whole life. More interested in committed full time musicians with desire for vocal harmony expression..
No matter what background or history.. it's all about the VOCAL HARMONYsound and message..
The more versatile and creative collaboration the better..
I find it amusing musicians fail to take the time to learn where the soul of our love for music comes from. Is it superficial or a soul for music n the pain shared n expressed in the story we all seek to share with others? Some call it Blues I call it vocal harmony .

Carol King. All time Master writers.. Tapestry. Carly Simon. James Taylor - style performer. The poetry of Bob Dillon. Creatibity of Paul Macatrney Beatles and Wings .. Lenon of course. Elton John. Stevie Wonder genious. The piano man Billy Joel. The unique voice of Stevie Nicks. Janis Joplin Bonnie Raitt. Allison Krause Yes even the vocal harmony of the Bee Gees. And Abba for you snobs. Queen. Stevie Ray. George Benson. Vocal harmony is everything to me. The pure voice of Seline . Ella Fitzgerald to name a few. Including my favorite Janis Joplin . The soul of Marvin Gay. AL Jeraeau .. Blues of Stevie Ray. Christ there are so many more.. Why put a short list when music is just that. A universal expression of your soul.. If you feel the pain and can express it is there anything else to say..
Figured it out yet? I'm a vocalist first....
