FAWM.ORG | Richard Provan

Artist Bio

Influences: Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Waits, Steve Earle, David Bowie, Counting Crows.

Hope you all have a fun and rewarding FAWM 2020.

FAWM 4, work has been all encompassing, so this year will be a challenge to carve out time. On the bright side I have a great new mic (AKG C414) so even if I don’t take two days to record a demo (I know, I know), my one-mic takes should be good quality.

I’m on a heavy Fred Eaglesmith kick these days, preparing for a tribute show, so it will probably influence my writing, which isn’t a bad thing. 😀

I’m happy to receive constructive criticism on my songs.

Pronouns: him/his.

Thanks for your lovely feedback. I got a nasty chest cold mid feb and my voice is broken so gave up this year. First failure in my 10 years here. Ho hum.
There’s always next year!

@dzd 5 weeks

@dzd 5 weeks

Thanks for your listen and comments!
Oklahoma man...I had actually forgotten about that one until a few days ago hahah its on the list to get music pronto...think I got something I can make fit 😀.....

it's just soooooo wordy not my typical write, I'll never remember half of it so no issues performing it anywhere hahah, but yeah they'd probably drag me out of state....behind a truck with nuts hanging off the bumper no doubt 😉

Hi, I'm happy you liked my Democracy song. Been so wrapped up in writing and stuff this month I nearly forgot about this one. It was a fun style to do.
@standup 5 weeks

Thanks for listening to Angel. That guitar sound heavily featured a pedal called Julia that does a pitch warble kinda thing. Seemed to fit.
@dzd 5 weeks

Haha yeah I was mad at myself for even reading all that lol
@oldlostjohn 5 weeks

Thanks for your comment on "Garden Doors". And I'll tell you a secret, I borrowed the "wicked are safe among the blind" line from Truman Capote. It's from "The Headless Hawk", one of his early gothic stories.
@drivelmonk 5 weeks

haha, honestly, it's prolly my fault for feeling compelled to pitch correct the solo. Sounds a little too "on." 😀

Your comment on the “Unauthorized Collaboration” thread was excellent - it showed appreciation for the OP’s feelings as well as compassion and empathy for the FAWMling involved.

Thank you, Richard. "Further In" is my favourite too and "Dream Cafë" certainly one of Greg's best. Big big fan,
@scubed 7 weeks

Thanks so much for your kind words on “Summer Heat Blues”! @bradbrubaker gets the credit for the Summer/Winter framework - I kept those lines from Brad’s “Summer Heat” when I morphed his song.
