November Broadjam Releases

Releases on Broadjam
Compiled by Roy Elkins

Choose You by Tiffany Sinko
Betterman by Nick Fuse and Jim Pearson
Guitar Man by Greg Lambert

 
Tiffany Sinko
Song Title: Choose You
Songwriter: Tiffany Sinko
Tiffany Sinko is from Los Alamitos, California and has a Broadjam member since 2013.
She has posted 16 songs with the most popular being Haunting Me.

She is a musician, singer, song writer, and artist. Tiffany has been pursuing a life in music since 15, when she started her own band, wrote and released 2 independent albums and played many successful shows.


Nice Fuse
Song Title: Betterman
Songwriters: Nick Fuse and Jim Pearson

Nick Fuse is from Austin, Texas and has been a member of Broadjam since 2010. He has posted 77 songs on the Broadjam site with the most popular being The Angels.

Nick Fuse is known for songs that are brutally honest, simple and real. Devoted to Urban Folk, he spins tales of the Modern Age through the ancient role of Muse with soft strings and endearing voice, gifts he does not claim as his own.




Jim Pearson
Jim Pearson is from the United Kingdom and has been a member of Broadjam since 2005. He has posted 18 songs on the Broadjam site with the most popular being Where Did Out Time Go?

A truly original singer-songwriter with a quirky, sensitive, witty, quintessencially British sound that grows on one with each listen. And lurking behind the eccentric trappings are some highly infectious grooves, amber guitar tones, and wickedly clever arrangements that George Martin would be proud of.





Greg Lambert
Song Title: Guitar Man
Songwriter: Greg Lambert

Greg is from Tampa, Florida and has been a member of Broadjam since 2013. He has posted 77 songs on Broadjam to date.  His most popular song among Broadjam listeners is Hiding In The Dark.

Greg says, "I try to put words and music together in a way that is musically pleasing, and even exciting at times! Thanks for listening!"
