Saltwater Echoes : A songwriter who uses music to heal and entertain others.

This song came from a moment where an old high school friend I hadn’t seen in decades ran into me on the bleachers of our son’s ball game. We talked about how we missed the old days when friends could just sit around a campfire and talk about nothing important and just enjoy one another’s company. Realizing in modern day people have gotten polarized by the ability to say whatever on Facebook and cause once friends to block or drop one another just because they didn’t have the same political or religious beliefs. Back in a simpler time.

Where it started

Started writing songs when my wife was sick in the hospital. Music was always a part of her life through show choir in school to singing at church. So I took the things that made her happy and put them together, our beach memories over the years and music. It helped her smile and make it through our tough time. She loved them so much she said I should share them with the world. So Saltwater (beach) Echoes (memories) was born, though the thought was I would introduce my sound to the world and possibly find a group to run with the songs.

The come-up

The road here wasn't clean. I’ve learned writing my stories in lyrics can’t always be my exact memory. Something that makes sense to me as I was there at the moment, quite possibly won’t make sense to someone who wasn’t there. Learning to include my memories into a version others can relate to is harder than it sounds.

The project

The latest is Back when a campfire was enough. This song came from a moment where an old high school friend I hadn’t seen in decades ran into me on the bleachers of our son’s ball game. We talked about how we missed the old days when friends could just sit around a campfire and talk about nothing important and just enjoy one another’s company. Realizing in modern day people have gotten polarized by the ability to say whatever on Facebook and cause once friends to block or drop one another just because they didn’t have the same political or religious beliefs. Back in a simpler time.

What they want you to know

My songs will always be clean, fun and driven by my or my friends/families experiences. I really love a catchy one liner.

What's next

I have over 27 country coastal songs to release, again all are based on experience.
