Details:
I''ve been playing guitar since I was nine years old. I write songs that come to me in dreams or while driving or moving through life. I try not to get in the way of these songs and I don''t worry too much about genre. I have been accused of being upbeat. Positive. Okay...sure....why not. I am grateful for every song, every book, every experience, every person that has ever inspired me or made me laugh. Every love. Every loss... I hope you all have long and happy lives.
The following ALBUM REVIEW by Ted Onulak/https://www.tradebit.com
“Rise Above“ is the first solo release by John Eggers, a reclusive veteran of the DC area music scene.
On this intensely personal collection of songs, Eggers plays all the instruments with well-crafted agility and sings in a voice that walks across the tightrope of power and tenderness.
Uniting all the streams that flow through this creative mind, this album while introspective, is universal in its themes, to the point that we can all find ourselves in his songs.
All the layers of this effort hang together seamlessly; no doubt many hours of work were lovingly bestowed on this album, from the layers of acoustic and electric guitars, dulcimer, mandolin, keys and even a turn at string arrangement.
But it is the haunting, dreamlike-quality of John’s lead vocals blended with his own backing vocals, which remind one of personal battles with the inner voices in our own heads. Exploring themes such as love, innocence, alienation and dreams deferred, this album moves beyond introspection and plants a brilliant flag of defiance in the hard ground of existence.
Each time you listen to “Rise Above“, you will hear new things and dream new dreams. This is an exciting, solid effort from a thoughtful and unique musical voice.
