Local singer records his first song
On Thursday evenings, Coons has been playing his guitar and singing for throngs of University of Kansas students who crowd in to hear him at Mr. Bill's, a Lawrence tavern. During the day, however, Coons has been working nearly non-stop to try to cut his first album.
Coons, 24, recorded the first track for the album last December. He said he hoped to record the title track, "Face to Face," within the next month. Once he finished recording the songs, he said he would go to Los Angeles to have a performance and hope the hopes to have the album finished by early fall.
"I'm not looking for something to hit me in the face right off," Coons said. "This takes a lot of time. I'm learning as I go, since I've never done this before."
"AFTER THAT, I just have to push the album a lot and set the air time that I need." he said.
company so he can receive all of the royalties his sons earn.
Coons plans on hitting it big one day. He already has ideas of forming his own publishing
"Forming publishing company sounds like a be deal, but it really isn't," he said. "All it takes is an offer to change the story."
Chuck Chapman, owner of Chapman Recorded Studio in Kansas City, where Coons
recorded his first song, "Cash," predicted that Coons had the talent to be successful.
"Don came into the studio very prepared," chaplainman. "And he used some of the best voices."
ONE MUSICIAN who has been a particular help to Coons is Tom Sutherland, an accomplished musician in his own right. Sutherland is the current drummer for the Kansas City based band, Orphanh. He collaborated with Coons during his first recording session. Orphman just released their second album and Sutherland was able to draw on his
If "the rest of the alburn is as good as the song
therefore" (and Chapman said, "Cooms has a real good chance of
being here"),
Chapman, who has recorded such groups as Shooting Star and Moffet-Beers, said that on a scale of one to ten, he would give Coons a nine or ten.
"He singes very, very well," Chapman said. "He plays what I like to call sophisticated rock. It's not real hard and it's not real mellow, and his lyrics are on an intellectual level."
Coons said he'd never had a music lesson in his life.
"I just more or less sit in my own little corner and taught myself to play," he said.
COONS PLAYS acoustic, bass and electric guitars and occasionally the trumpet.
"I've wanted to be a musician all of my life," he said. "I could just never see myself doing anything else. I worked in the grocery business over seven years, but I just had to get out of it."
When he was younger, Coons said, he admired hard rock bands such as Grand Funk Railroad, but said that his tastes had changed recently to a more mellow sound.
"My favorites that I listen to most often are Doe Kundgren, Kenny Logins, Gino Vanell and Tom Kundgren."
