Journal Entry ##581

October 3^rd, 2011

Today I am going to promote a couple of up and coming musicians Alex Carl & Morgan Currie. At this point they are the current members of “Shelter for the Scarred”.

Morgan Currie

As you have probably guessed by now Morgan is my son. He is the drummer and continually tries to better his craft. The drummer rarely gets enough credit for the work they do. Being a musician is hard work but then add that your father and brother as well as other members of your extended family all play and you are expected to keep your chops up. Music comes naturally to my family but also requires immense dedication to hone the craft.

Alex and Morgan have been friends since grade school with the usual ups and downs of any good relationship but have remained true in their friendship. Since they have been playing there have been many hopefuls to fill the other spots in the band but so far no one has stuck. This doesn’t stop them though they just keep going.

Alex Carl

I have known Alex for many years. Alex’s dad was his main inspiration to get started and his family has consistently supported his passion to be a musician.  Alex and his dad have built guitars together which has given him an overall appreciation for the instrument itself. He takes pride in his guitars.

I have watched Alex go from the usual I don’t need any help in my music to become a student of the not only the guitar but all that goes into being a great musician. It has been a pleasure to watch both him and Morgan mature over the years.

Alex had asked me at some point if I would help him record some of his songs and recently he finally was ready. He has played some songs for me in the past and each time I could see the improvement. He has also been working hard at his vocals as well. The other day he played a couple of songs for me and I could see that he was ready so I offered to record one for him. It turned out amazing.

The song is called “LEAVES” it will be released along with a video very soon as I still have to shoot and edit the video for them but I am onfident all who hear it will enjoy it.

Prom

It has been my pleasure to watch these 2 musicians and great human beings develop over the years and it will be my pleasure to help introduce them to the world.

There face book page  I encourage you to like to be in the great things to come;
