"Geoff is a star on the rise. He's talented, hardworking and has extraordinary vocal range!"
Product Description
Think Gavin Degraw, Maroon 5, John Mayer, Five for Fighting and Train with heavy Elton John and Beatles influence. There is also some classic Motown and soul overtones that reflect Smokey Robinson and Al Green influence. Very medodic, extremely catchy songs with passionate vocal delivery. Buttery, breathy and clean with layers of lyrical depth and longing underneath the sugary exterior. Multiple layers of instrumental and vocal hooks with tons of harmonies. These are classic, well crafted pop songs and "Candy Shell" comes off like a greatest hits album more than a debut! Every song is good from beginning to end! You will not have to skip any songs as you're listening in your car! The lyrics are passionate, romantic and meaningful while Geoff Byrd's unique vocals soar over many octaves with a lilting falsetto and resonating baritone. This is a must have record...an instant classic!
