Welcome! This page was created to easily provide a link to some demos of my original songs for artists to review in hopes that they will desire to cover one of these songs in their works. Please scroll down to see some videos and even further to listen to selections.
Most of these recordings are very basic arrangements and allow space for artistic interpretation. I have heard a lot of different perspectives from different folks regarding the preferred level of production for demos (Bare Bones or Fully Produced) and after years of indecision wondering how to best move forward I decided to move forward the best I could for now and continuously improve my demos over time. The recordings below represent quite a time line of years and technologies and some of them are not of a quality I would prefer, but they do contain the essence of the song I created. It is fun to actually dig these out of the archives and hopefully give them a life.
Many of these same songs are also showcased on the Amazing Tabasco Brothers page on this same website or http://www.davemorettimusic.com/the-amazing-tabasco-brothers.html which features some recordings from a recent live show that captured these originals in a cool and gracious listening environment.
If you are an artist I hope you find a song of interest to you!! If you think you hear something that another artist you know might like please forward them this link!
If you are a friend, I hope you take a moment and let me know if there are any here that you like so I can focus on putting them in the next project. There is not much that I would love more, besides family and friends, than to have something happen with one of these songs someday.
The rest of the site is dedicated to the different ensembles I play live music in, as well as a little bit of history on my musical influences to date and can be accessed using the "more" button in the upper right corner.
Please contact me at acousticmaniak@gmail.com or by phone 401-474-5974 for permissions.
thanks so much for taking the time to listen!
Best regards, Dave
