Odd Number

I have a show coming up this coming Wednesday in Dublin supporting a band called Caruso in The Cobblestone and I've been working away on some new tunes and also others that I'd written but not quite finished so I'm gonna use the opportunity give the new tracks an airing. I like to put the pressure on myself from time to time and I feel its important to keep moving forward and keep writing, its so easy to get lazy and just rely on the tunes that you know work, which is all fine and good as a performer but as the writer unless you keep writing well,...... I don't feel like I'm a writer anymore. I suppose its getting the balance right when you happen to be both the singer and the songwriter.

Anyways I'm particularly looking forward to playing a brand spanking tune called "Odd Number" its an uptempo pop tune that comes in under that 3 minute mark with about 20 seconds to spare. I just love playing it right now, its so great as a writer when a tune like that comes along and puts the fire back in yer belly about being creative again, which is where it has to start really. Without that theres nothing, but its so easy get caught up in the voxs and myspaces of this world, trying to widen your audience and generally let people know you're out here, out there, out anywhere. So when you remind yourself of why you are and what you are and that you're more than some administrative arm to it all....well it just feels good.

So fellow voxers, tonight I say, turn the internet off go grab your pen and paper and the instrument of your choice and get a song together, remind yourself of why and what you are.

And if anyone is around Dublin why not come check me out this wednesday, show starts 9pm in the Cobblestone, Smithfield.

Cheers
