Live Piano Man - James Clarke Music Production Graduate James Clarke has only become active in the Northeast music scene over the last 2 years when he finally decided to unleash his talents to the public   His energetic and personalized live performances have built up a popular fan base due to his dedication to his audience, diverse strong repertoire, improvisation and showmanship    James excellent piano skills landed him a top weekly spot last summer at the prestigious Wynyard Hall. By no means is James your average lounge bar pianist!   "I mix it up so you can still hear the original but you know it's my take on it "I like to stray as far away from the norm as possible, but without alienating the audience" People often comment that they prefer James' version to the original   James has taken the lessons learned from the live gigs back into the studio and put every bit of energy into the album, in which James has written, performed and produced every instrument from his small bedroom studio   Inspired by such legends as Neil Young, Elbow, Joni Mitchell, Radiohead and Counting Crows, James’ album is an introspective journey of love, family, home, life and death.    Continuing the raw organic tones of his live performances, James’ original material and emotionally connected lyrics leave people with their individual interpretation of the message behind his songs   James' recent recordings are more introspective and draw partly from personal experience and his imagination. James hopes the listener can relate to these tracks in the same way in which people relate to his live performances   "I am all about real music, real emotion, and real life. I just hope people feel it when they hear me"                                                               Join the LivePianoMan fan-mail for exlusive tracks and up to date information and thoughts from the man himself -LivePianoMan   www.reverbnation.com/livepianoman
