Roark Music
|
General InfoHometown: Pompton Plains, USAbout Me: He isn’t sure who said it, but Roark likes to quote the critic who noted there really are only a few subjects artists tend to explore. "Love, death, fear" says the singer/songwriter. "You can always tie everything back to these fundamental things. I strive to do it my own way." And what is Roark’s way? With his pitch perfect tenor and instinct for pure melody, Roark delves into those suspended, transitory moments between people. Roark is for fans of John Mayer, Damien Rice, James Blunt and Chris Martin. And though he’s too modest to say so, with his new album, Break Of Day, Roark just might usher in a new era of pop music that matters. It is a solo album, but Roark didn't make Break Of Day alone. Chris Badami served as producer, engineer and – for old time's sake – drummer (they were band mates in the New Jersey-based Casual Blue). The pair teamed up at Badami's Portrait Recording Studios in Lincoln Park, NJ, to make the CD. “It was invaluable having Chris,” says Roark. “We're great friends to begin with, and having a great personal relationship was a solid foundation for a great musical relationship.” Myspace URL: http://www.myspace.com/roarknjRecent Blogsno blogs posted yet |
