First Tracks Round 2!

I've made it to the second round of the FirstTracks Competition sponsored by Gather.com. Voting goes from today until March 31st. You can vote 1x/day and the top 25 (the Top 100 are locked in) move on to the next round!

You can vote by clicking here and scrolling down to the 'vote' banner. It takes only a second!

It's pretty stiff competition but I'm honored to have made it to the next round. For those of you new to my music, I'm Boston-based, have been making my living at this for the last year but have been gigging, writing, recording, and performing the last 6. Though I'm only twenty-two, I've played in a lot of the larger Boston venues and have gained a favorable following here. I think what differentiates myself from the other artists on this site is experience (I'm starting to sound like Hillary or McCain). These competitions are designed to give amateurs a shot at great exposure but I'd say only 10% of the artists on here have the type of experience that I do. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of great artists here that deserve this shot, but there are as many (if not more) artists on here that have tons of friends or great spamming capabilities that have been able to get a higher ranking in this competition because of that.

Please check out my song "Tell My Story" and if you like it, vote and comment. Tell your friends to take a second out and throw us a vote because I do think we deserve it more than those who, "Have been dreaming of this our whole lives…" I'm a lot more realistic of our expectations and the potential windfall from all of this but I'm willing to see it through. You can vote once each day, so your continued support will help make a deserving musician have a shot and I do think the song speaks for itself.

Thanks for your time. Enjoy!
