  Here is a sampling of my music:

​

     1. "BOOM!" is an up-tempo country song with a fun ending. It was a Finalist in the UK Songwriting Contest.

​

     2. "Three Sheets to the Wind" is a ballad I wrote with Willie Nelson in mind. He may never hear it . . . but it's fun to dream. If you like traditional country music, you will like this song. It was a Semi-Finalist in the UK Songwriting Contest.

​

     3.  "Bad As You" is a dark bluesy tune that I wrote as potential sync music for a movie or TV series. Think Sons of Anarchy or True Blood. It received a Highly Commended designation in the UK Songwriting Contest in both the R&B and Open Categories.

​

     4. "In The Name of Freedom" - My tribute to our veterans and active military. I wrote it as potential sync music for a future documentary about veterans. I hope someone picks this one up for that purpose, or maybe an artist that plays a lot of shows for the military. I got the music from a good friend, Dave Nudo, who is a very talented country rocker. We were on a show together and he played a song he wrote with a similar tune. Once I heard the melody . . . I knew I had to write my veterans song to it.

​

     5. "Barnyard Boulevard"

Winner - 2020 American Tracks Music Award for Best Country Song

Bronze Medal - 2020 Global Music Award for Best Song

  This song is for all those folks who grew up in the country. It is one of my new ones.

​

     6. "Somebody Gettin' Lucky" - This is another new one. It's the first female country song that I wrote. It also won an American Tracks Music Award for Best Country Song.

​

     7. "Not That Kind of Girl" -

Winner - 2020 American Track Music Award for Best Country Song

Winner - 2020 American Track Music Award for Best Song Lyrics

Bronze Medal - 2020 Global Music Awards for Lyrics/Songwriting

 

    8. "Only Me"  -

Finalist - 2020 World Songwriting Awards for Best Gospel/Inspirational Song

Finalist - 2020 UK Songwriting Contest for Best Gospel/Inspirational Song 

​

 9. "Metal And Ink" - I'm not sure what to say about this song. It may be the only country song ever written about tattoos and body piercings. It was a Finalist in the 2018 Great American Song Contest.

​

10. "This Year For Christmas" - This is song that was originally written by Art Michel. It was a sad song to begin with. I rewrote the lyrics and did some stylistic changes. We ended up with a killer Christmas song.

​

11. "When A Memory Starts to Burn" - this is a song I wrote with Don McKim and Johnny Garcia. It eventually morphed into an R&B song. This is our original demo with Melissa Duvall on vocals. 

​

12. "Barnyard Boulevard" - This is the final demo mix, with additional guitar and beats added. I also shortened it for US radio play. I think Aldean needs to cut this one.
