Description: RPM Challenge sounds great! I love the challenge. I have some half-eaten, half-written tunes that have been scribbled on paper, sitting in a pile on my desk too long, and this will light a fire under me to finish them, polish the terds they are, and create new stuff. I committed to this project without knowing how I would record them, and then my studio engineer said he'd make some time for me to get them down in the studio. And...Even if I have to use my cassette recorder with the built-in condensor mic, I'm doing it! I might do some composing electronically too, who knows? My style will be... well, I suppose anything goes! Let's say Acoustic Singer Songwriter, with a dash of wild hair! Different than what's on my website, that's for sure! www.debrafarris.com, www.myspace.com/debrafarrisband Thanks for creating this opportunity! Good Luck everyone! Debra

Band Members & Instruments Played: Me, Myself, and I this time. Acoustic 6-string and 12-string guitars, bass, and multiple vocals. My other rock 'n roll music life is what made my voice so dang hoarse on the love songs...I'd still like to have my cake and eat it too in the singing world, running the gammut between fury and finesse. Maybe I"ll produce and flesh these tunes out in the next months. Stay tuned!
Band Location (city, state or province, and country): Santa Barbara, CA
