Hey, thanks for checking out my profile. I am a country-rock, rhythm & blues singer who loves rock 'n' roll and hard rock too. There are so many influences I like, and so many yet to explore. Because I cover such a wide genre, there really is no particular artist that I stick to - it's more a preferred style and certain songs - not always the ones that have been thrashed on the radio. I do my best to cover what I call 'the greats' and have a huge admiration and respect for BIG voices - because training to them gave me a BIG voice.
