McNary's Random thoughts on Life and the Musical Journey

McNary's Random Thoughts :


Things are coming together very well for me as a solo artist right now. The friendships and relationships I've nurtured during the last couple of years are proving to be a huge asset to my career as a musician. It seems that when we set goals.....we may not reach them how we originally envisioned, but if we persevere with sincerity and positive intentions, we end up succeeding....Right now it feels like the universe really is conspiring with me...I'm booking shows without much effort, collaborating with other artists, writing new songs regularly, and making valuable new contacts on a daily basis.

Since I was 6 or 7 years old I've felt part of me that wanted so much to express feelings and connect with the world through music...Finally after going through college, living abroad for two years, working, and then giving up on the corporate world, I started pursuing that longing/vision 2 and half years ago. I am so fortunate that I finally gave in to that yearning....It is surreal to be performing original music and to be connecting with people in the crowd that I've never met before...That to me is probably the most wonderful thing about performing/making music. Connecting...Without that connection, it's not worth it. Feeling life's emotions and sharing that very personal yet universal experience with others.

My goal is to begin touring regionally beginning in March '10 and to be touring more extensively by fall of '10. Right now I'm keeping an eye out for musicians that could potentially form a band. I'll keep the same group name, "McNary" but will beef up the experience for the fans by actually fronting a full band. I'm looking for die hard musicians who are ready to tour, collaborate, and share the potentially long/trial strewn journey to musical prominence. I'm looking for people whose number one priority in life is to make music and who are willing to sacrifice to make music their career.
