About

With MetroSongs, my goal is to write, record, and perform an original song for each of the D.C. area's 86 Metro stations. Crossing all styles of music, I draw from the unique history, geography, and character of each station location. Volumes 1 through 3 have covered 36 stations! Volume 4 will put us over the halfway point.

What's different about this collection of MetroSongs? I'm recording the full Open Doors band for the first time. That's drums, bass, lead guitar, violin, and keyboards, plus whatever instruments I get my hands on, in addition to my singin'.

The album will be locally and professionally mastered for audio excellence. In addition to that stereo mix, I'll create a 5.1 surround sound mix with accompanying video on DVD for you to enjoy in your home theater system.

Thanks for checking out MetroSongs. Please scan the offers I've listed and select one you think you'll enjoy. Please feel free to ask any questions at all: dcmetrosongs@gmail.com.

Transit rock lives!

    Got eight bucks burning a hole in your pocket? After you get yourself some new pants, you'll receive a stereo CD of MetroSongs, Volume 4, once it is finished, signed by the band.

    What's so different about Volume 4? Gobs! I'll tell you! We're recording the full 6-piece band, and getting the album professionally mastered for your listening pleasure. This will be so freakin' good, it will make Volumes 1 through 3 sound like a cat howling in the alley outside your window in the middle of the night. No more wimpy little drum machine, we have a wimpy little drummer! Synthesized strings? Heck, we've synthesized a whole violinist! All your favorite musicians from live Open Doors shows will at long last be yours to bring home forever and ever and ever and ever.

    Aw, shoot, I'll even email you the mp3's too, since I know how you kids like the smartphones and the internets.
