notes
“I like to write songs about people, experiences and relationships that are part of our daily lives, and of characters I invent. If I can leave you feeling sad, angry or happy about being alive, I’ve done a good job.”
Starting his performing career in the U.S. as a teenager, Alan moved to Canada to continue playing and writing, while he worked in the Toronto music industry. Alan is also a prolific songwriter, and has placed his songs in the worlds of TV commercials, film and with other recording artists. He has performed in North America, New Zealand and Europe.
Getting There is Alan's debut CD for Phonic Records, serving as a great introduction to his catchy, upbeat songs, reminiscent of 70's and 80's Classic Rock.
Alan continues to write great music, play with his band The Alternators, and work on a variety of projects for Phonic Records. He currently lives in the Nelson area in British Columbia, Canada.

Ohrwurm
author: Frankgrandioses Album.Tolles Songwriting und weit weit ab vom täglichen Einheitbrei.Wann kommt das nächste Album ? Zum dritten mal bestellt und wieder klasse Versand nach Übersee. Ihr macht das wirklich super.
A masterpiece of an ingenious songwriter
author: Joerg KoepkeI think he is one of the few artist which are able to move your mind and soul with his songs. His music would be worth to become more popular.
Al old par you dun great!!
author: Olin McKay Buddhagrass BoysThis CD is stuffed full of great skill....guitar work,engineering,singing,song writing,compassion!
If this came as a result of a journey, get ready, you're going further yet!
author: Leslie BogulaThe first time I listened, I heard the pop/folk sounds of my favourite artists of my younger years. It felt good. The next time I listened I heard the lyrics more than felt the overall mood, and found a blend of themes and ideas and stories that convinced me that there is something for just about anyone on this cd. To me, this is fresh, real music, not angst-addled or soft - I hear pop, country, folk and blues and I want more!
Really very nice CD, "real" music (no computer), good guitar solos, good chorus
author: Bruno Reinaudi - ItalyVery nice songs : both optimistic (Life is good) and bitter (In my room) considerations about life. Very nice music, well played and sung : slow ballads (It isn't enough), love songs (Love too much), blues (Hungry), rock (Time in the world). My favourite : Fires burning. Looking forward to the next CD !
So human, rich with harmony
author: Dragan Stajic, Radio Fedra, Serbia-MontenegroThis music is so human, rich with harmony; good playing and singing!
Easy listening with a good mix of feelings
author: Justin BarnesI like this cd. I think the only thing that kirk can do from this point is grow. My fav's are broken channels, time in the world**, and In my room!! I think that it might play on the ears of and older crowd a little better because of its light sound...but in my opinion....a good light sound...something I could sing with once I learn the words!!
Just love this CD, very soothing sound. Hope to hear more from him.
author: Nubby CarltonPerfect CD for the 40-50 age group. Teens also find it great to listen to.
One of the best independent CD's we've heard!
