Cry for the Nations

Elvis Is King!
I was invited on an all expense paid trip to Memphis for Elvis Week 2012, and this song and video was used to promote the trip. Lots of fanatical devotion from his fans for the earliest rock n roll phenom and arguably the all-time best pop singer.

Freedom's Hour
Ballad with some sweet dual lead guitar work, piano and folk rock flavor. I wrote it many years ago but its enduring relevance prompted me to re-record it more recently.

More than enough love songs have been written but I'm happy with how this one turned out... Lush orchestration and vocal.

The God-Quest Medley
Four brief orchestral folk-rock tunes, interspersed by a symphonic heavy metal instrumental and a triumphantly majestic, classical crossover intro, bridge and outro theme.
