About
Hello and welcome to my about me page,
I’m a local artist in the Atlanta area. Originally, I’m from Alabama where I grew up in Tallassee. Tallassee is a small dot on the map located outside of Montgomery. Music has been in my life since childhood and honestly serves as a great outlet for me. I started performing as a singer/songwriter in college where a few of us would gather on Friday nights in Auburn, Alabama at a local chicken wing restaurant on Magnolia Street and perform. There were not a lot of LGBT+ bars, but we definitely turned that place into one on Friday nights. All of us artists branched out from there playing bars and venues throughout Alabama and Georgia. It was a fun time and great way to make a little extra cash while earning my music degree.
Currently, I am booking gigs mostly in the Atlanta area where I play alongside a very talented artist, Erica Bitting. We’re doing a mixture of some jazz, folk, rock and pop covers along with some songs we’ve written individually. It’s great to share the stage with someone again. We are looking to book more shows. I have a contact page if that interests you!
Some past details of what I’ve done musically include playing jazz guitar in college, performing as a local singer/songwriter in throughout south eastern US, writing and producing songs for Songfinch which is a company where you can have a song made as a gift, playing guitar for theater productions, and writing, producing and releasing my own songs which are available on Spotify, Apple Music and other listening platforms.
I invite you to listen to my songs on my home page and come to a show if you’re ever in the area where I’m playing. It’s always great to talk to people at the shows so please stop by and say hello.
Cheers,
Layne
