Joined A Year Ago... Better Late Than Never To Participate!

[derekeverett]

Ok so turns out I've been a member here for a year.. honestly I don't remember even signing up, but my profile is all filled out so it must have been me! 

 

Well I'm gonna start spending some time here so figured I should introduce myself.

 

My name is Derek and I've been writing songs off and on for 20 years now. Until recently, it's mostly just been me with an acoustic guitar. These days I'm trying to work some software tools into my writing and honestly it's kickstarting my creativity again.

 

I don't consider myself much of a musician, it's the creating and writing of songs that I enjoy. Recording, playing guitar, these things are more of a means to an end with me. 

 

I've largely been influenced by 1950's country, the 1970's rebel movement in country, the old school punk of the late 70's, the grunge movement of the early 90's, and a little by modern day alt-country. Of course I've never shut folk music off when it came on the radio either. 

 

Guess I'll leave it at that for now. I haven't read any posts or articles on this site yet but I look forward to making the rounds!
