State is a singer-songwriter heavily influenced by soul and blues from Philadelphia.
Delivering a nuanced modern expression of classic styles, from slide to finger picking.
State is focused on songs that are equal parts emotional expression and storytelling.
The name State is taken from the idea of the various states of emotion that we experience throughout our lives. Influences range from Otis Redding to Robert Johnson, from Johnny Cash to Jim Morrison, all the way to the musical landscape of the 1990’s and beyond.
“I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way.”
“Johnny Cash”
Singles and an Album on the Way
With a full list of original songs that are performed on a regular basis, the next natural step is to record those songs. An unconventional approach to performing and recording with weight being given to performing on the front end is the current trend. Until then, exclusively experience State in person or in live recordings.
