Watch and listen to my songs!

Shill Time!

Hey guys,

After an amazing experience this summer with William Finn, who gave me a lot of great support, advice and motivation...I have started taking my songwriting a lot more seriously. My partner and I were lucky enough to participate in a panel-discussion/ concert about up-and-coming musical theatre songwriters. Four of our songs were performed by Toronto's rising stars Sara Farb, Cameron Carver and Gabi Epstein (yup...sister of Degrassi and Spring Awakening's Jake...talented family).

I would love to hear what you BWWers have to say about the songs, since really a lot of my early encouragement was on these boards. Enjoy!

Hah MusicSnob,

It is a bit rushed, but only a little. We were watching the video last night and made the same comment. Yup...wordy I am. If you've ever spoken to me in real life you'd know thats a problem not just in my songwriting. Subway Has Everything was an excersize in trying to cut back on that a bit. Thanks for the brutal honesty...You live up to your name :)

Joe,

Three of the songs posted (all except I Want It Now) are from The Subway Songs, a song-cycle (as the title implies, all taking place on a subway car through out the day).
Also some book musicals are in the very early stages.

Welcome back Akiva!

So good to see you've been working on your writing. I hear tremendous growth from the stuff you shared last year.
Keep up the good work my friend!
