tunes

It’s often said that music is the soundtrack to your life. Nothing speaks louder and clearer than music. Learn to play an instrument, sing (even if just in the shower), and create your own soundtrack!

Double Barrel Jam

Several years ago, I started my own brand called Double Barrel Jam that was intended to be a spontaneous and versatile way of producing music for any occasion (thus the choosing of the word ‘jam’). It just seems to fit what I do and how I like to surprise people in a good way. My favorite musical memory was a wedding that I played for in Natchez, Mississippi. I didn’t know the bride but she made a special request to process into the church to the tune of “Go the Distance” from the Disney movie “Hercules.” I loved the song and wanted it to be special, so I worked on a version that I thought she might like. I arrived early to make sure that it was the right length, tempo, volume, etc. When I finished, I looked up and the young bride was standing in the door in tears. She said “It’s exactly what I wanted.” Now, that’s what I enjoy doing more than anything – taking an idea and creating something special from it.

Double Barrel identifies area talent and sources events of all kinds, including weddings and venue ‘gigs’. Check out the samples!
