Thanks for visiting!

I love all styles of music, and that probably comes though in my songs. My parents moved us from New Zealand to California when I was six years old, and we went from a very-rural country life on a New Zealand chicken farm to a southern California tract house in the early 1960s. Talk about culture shock! From having no radio, we were suddenly surrounded by the Four Seasons and, before too long,The Beatles. The impact that made on me musically cannot be understated. In the early 1970s, Elton John's country-influenced album Tumbleweed Connection sparked an interest in country music, and it wasn't long before I was hooked on Merle Haggard, Bob Wills and Waylon Jennings. My music is a little bit of all these artists, so hopefully that makes my songs a little unique.

I recorded my first demo "I'd Rather Be Lucky Than Good" in July of 2008. Since then I've recorded about one per month, most of which are on this page. Recently I've been writing a few adult-contemporary songs as well, such as "Try".

I'm currently involved in the NSC/Ash Street Music apprenticeship program, and now that I'm in Nashville frequently I'm meeting some wonderful people with a shared interest in the music we all love. It's a great thing!

I can be reached by phone at 804-387-4669, just in case you'd like to include one of my songs on your next double-platinum project!!

Wishing you all great success and happiness!

Cam

p.s. If you have a minute please let me know which of my songs is your favorite at http://www.micropoll.com/akira/mpview/558604-149108. They're all my babies, so I'm danged if I would know which ones to pitch otherwise. THANKS!

2nd Visit to Ash Street

Just finished up my second visit to Ash Street Music under the NSC/Ash Street co-op apprenticeship program.

As before, June and Tom are absolutely fantastic! I love them to pieces! These two really care about us struggling songwriters. They've both been there themselves, and their little house on 16th Street is all about their dream too. I cannot imagine a better place to land to get to know Nashville. As I told them at dinner one night, if not for them I would roam the streets of Nashville fee… Continue

NSC/Ash Street Music Apprenticeship

Several people have asked me to start a blog detailing my experiences with the songwriter's apprenticeship program at Ash Street Music. Since Tom and June from Ash Street music tell me I'm the first one from here to go through the program, I thought that it might be helpful to those who will follow me or who may be considering it. I just got back from my first trip there, a 4-day whirlwind, so I thought I'd get it down while it's fresh.

First of all, the tuition for the six month program is $2,… Continue

However, Dan Gold and I have pleasantly learned to disagree without gitting mad.
I like a kind of peace.
Thank YOU for your words.
