I started my musical journey as a vocalist. I was so shy, I would sit behind the curtains at my high school and sing so no one could see me. When I started singing in bands, I would close my eyes and hold on to the microphone stand. It must have been a full year before I could get on stage and sing with my eyes open.
(I'm still shy) :)
I sang in Rock, Jazz, Latin, club bands in Ca. from the late 60s to the early 80s.
In the late 90s I started writing my own songs and performing as a solo act.
I am still learning and growing as a performer and as a writer.
What you hear are songs done in my living room, except for "Fare Thee Well" which was done at Randy Roos's NH Studio, with Randy and Bob McCarthy. Also "Broken Windows", which was recorded via the web, with "Studio Pros" in LA., all will be produced, mixed, and mastered, and arranged on a studio CD.
Please accept my invitation and come along for the ride! It will be fun and I promise, something magical will happen.
Blessings and Balance,
Ernest
