Album Notes

Gavin Lakin
Signature Style
Every Now and Then Music (ASCAP)

"Parallel Dreams" is the first of two CDs featuring the songwriting and musical artistry of published ASCAP member Gavin Lakin. Though a lifelong California native raised on the California Sound, Gavin enjoys writing and producing all styles of music, especially Country & Western.

"Parallel Dreams" features 9 songs with a range of styles, from Pop and Americana to Folk and Vocal Jazz, all performed by some of the Bay Area's most talented musicians and singers.

From "Parallel Dreams", be sure to check out all the tracks, including "You'll Find Forever" and "Love Has Got Me Running" which received regional airplay in California.

Also here on CDBaby, you can hear/purchase Gavin's latest 16 song CD "Mister Right Now."

Since his late-teens, and after a brief though critically acclaimed career as an air guitarist, Gavin has been playing piano, composing music and writing lyrics. Gavin likes to describe his songwriting as Nashifornian; a fun and friendly crossroads of the Nashville and California sound. Gavin's lyrically honest mix of heartfelt to humorous storytelling, lush vocal harmonies, hook-filled melodies, and familiar yet fresh chord progressions make for good ol' home cookin' for the soul, and candy for the listener's ear.

Gavin's recent successes have included featured visual vocals on NBC's "Passions", inking publishing deals with Transition Music in Los Angeles and Access Music in the San Francisco Bay Area, composing music for a science adventure television pilot, as well as writing children's music for the HotZoo company.

Presently, Gavin is shopping his extensive song catalog in Nashville and is looking forward to placing his songs with Country & Western music's finest recording artists.

Gavin is a published member of ASCAP and The Songwriters Guild of America.
