Songwriting collaboration gothic country/dark Americana (oakland north / temescal)
QR Code Link to This Post
I'm a songwriter who's much better when I have a cowriter, and I'm slowly working on some gothic country songs. I have co-written with people in this genre/scene before, and I lean more towards the country side of it than the folk-punk side.
I'm a good singer and a shitty guitar player and mostly interested in bouncing lyrics back and forth. I'm planning to do a demo and I'm set up for home recording but I've mostly been focusing on writing rather than playing. I study songwriting pretty consistently and I'm very focused on becoming better/faster/more consistent at it.
Happy to work on related projects of yours- I'm not looking for cowriting credit, just to sharpen my skills.
I usually do a combo of Google Docs and Zoom calls when collaborating.
I'm in the Sacramento area but come to the Bay Area periodically. I'm interested in online collaboration primarily.
