I still remember the day Keith came to me with the desire to start writing more music. He had a general idea and we played around with some chords. I spent a little time alone with the song and then came back with “Signs Keep on Coming.” From there we refined it over months to bring it to it's epitome. Mark Phaff joined us to play harmonica and bass on the tune. It's Keith signing and playing keys and of course I took care of the rest. <br><br>“Touch Me Baby” originally started out with a short bit of lyric Keith had come up with and we originally wrote the song to be a standard blues tune. It morphed into something a bit different though. I ended up singing that one and Keith and I performed our respective instruments. Then we decided to put some strangeness into it.</p><p> </p><p>“Rain” is a tune Keith wrote when he was working with a group called Ja' Rhythm, which is actually how I met him. It has a distinct flavor inspired by those days and we worked to make that shine through.</p><p>Really hope you enjoy the music from this project. Likely United will certainly have more on the way and eventually some performances!</p>Missed The Mark Recordstag:missedthemarkrecords.com,2005:Post/71519712023-02-10T14:35:36-05:002023-02-10T14:35:36-05:00Likely United is almost here!<h2>March 1st! </h2><p>That is the date for the debut EP from our first artist addition, Likely United.

I had a few illnesses come my way but we've still been chugging along. We'll finally be releasing the EP for one of our first artist additions here at MTMR early in 2023 so it's time to let you know who that is!

<p>It won't be too much longer till we are finally able to share with you a new MTMR artist. This has been a project I've been involved in for about a year or so now and I'm very excited to release some music Keith and I have been working on.</p>
<p>When I started Missed the Mark Records, it was first to serve as a place to house my first band and my solo project but I always knew I wanted to help others bring their music or other audio content to life. It is with great pride I take this next step to have artists partner directly with this label. There are definitely already many more I'd like to add and I'll work to make that a reality.</p>
<p>Here's to many more years of creating and sharing!</p>

Pushing for some major changes to occur as this month comes to a close. Working to have the entire website revamped as we move forward with Missed The Mark Records becoming a more public label. Super excited about this progress. When I started this in 2018, I had always dreamed of the day when I felt ready to help others create music and audio projects! Well, some things have been in the works for over a year now and the time draws neigh for sharing.</p>
<p>In other news! My solo project will be releasing a new song soon. Just put the finishing touches on that bad boy! But, there are still a couple of more business types things that have to be done before it hits stores and streaming services. This next tune is more in the style of things I previously wrote with my former group <a contents="Shifting Tracks" data-link-label="Shifting Tracks" data-link-type="page" href="/shifting-tracks">Shifting Tracks</a>. It's got a little more edge to it than the two I have previously put out, and it's a hint to where some of my music is going. To find my previous releases go to my <a contents="Spotify" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/22O95ZgJZYVp3CMb6uifIU?si=DT31ZC44TgycMfNPz3hzOw">Spotify</a>, click here on the <a contents="website" data-link-label="Gilley" data-link-type="page" href="/gilley">website</a>, or find them wherever you like to listen to music!</p>
<p>For a little while, I'll be pausing the release of any new singles from my solo project's upcoming album as I focus on getting the album completed and released as a whole. But, there is lots of other great music and other forms of audio content that are coming down the line. So please stay tuned!</p>

<p>Some other exciting things have been happening here at MTMR as well. My currently unannounced business partner and I have been writing and working to grow this company. Should have something for ya'll to listen to sometime soon that he and I wrote together.</p>
<p>Even more interesting audio goodies are planned as the project/album for the spoken word artist I've been working with is nearly complete. I've been so thankful to be a part of creating these soundscapes and have truly enjoyed the challenge of finding and creating unique sounds. Fingers crossed he'll be one of the very first artists on this boutique label I've created.</p>
<p>In other news! I've decided to go back full-time here at the label & studio. So, I'll be working extra hard to crank out some enjoyable content that hopefully, you'll want to become a part of your life.</p>
<p>Also! I will also be booking performances in the near future as well. All show dates will be announced as soon as I get them on the books.

<p>Today though, I want to share with you a recording I made near the studio of Cicadas and other nocturnal insects singing in the night. I want to make a lot more of these and find some places not so close to a road.

<p>In my personal life, I took a day job but that's not going to stop me from continually working to pump out music and finally start scheduling some performances.</p>
<p>Here's to 2022 and accomplishing all the goals!</p>Missed The Mark Recordstag:missedthemarkrecords.com,2005:Post/68507802021-12-24T09:25:15-05:002021-12-24T09:25:15-05:00My next release!<p>Been getting some personal life stuff done as we all must do. Looking to have a Bob Seger cover released in January '22.</p>
<p>Two singles from my album are currently on Patreon and you can find my latest public release "On My Mind" anywhere you find music.</p>
<p>More material from my debut solo project's album will be coming shortly as I'm getting ready to start tracking. No due date for the album but pushing for later next year.</p>
<p>Till next time, </p>

<p>Here lately as I'm working to release music from my album (which the title should be announced sometime before the winter passes) and adding additional material to it, I've also been collaborating with another artist and helping out a local venue with acts coming through our area here in Mobile, AL.</p>
<p>In fact, got to help JJ Gray and Mofro set up for their show at the Soul Kitchen and I have to say that band is truly amazing. It was so inspiring to see them perform. It's getting close to the time for me to start finding musicians and I'm quite excited to find people. </p>
<p>I'll be announcing some streamed performance dates sometime soon and will potentially do some exclusively through <a contents="Sessions Live" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://sessionslive.com/GilleyMusic">Sessions Live</a>. Can't wait to get back out and play some real live shows!</p>

<p>No videos will be coming out this month. Gearing up for next month. Having missed a couple of weeks put me behind, so I'm going to take the time to get ahead. See ya'll in July. Be on the lookout for a streamed show in the meantime.</p>Missed The Mark Recordstag:missedthemarkrecords.com,2005:Post/66490372021-06-04T00:08:52-04:002021-06-04T00:11:06-04:006-3-21<p>Well, after about a two-week stint of not being able to work on productions for MTMR here at Oak Roots I'll finally be able to fire up the music forge once again. My grandparents needed some help with home renovations which was fun in its own way. The past week though, I've been dealing with a dental issue and have been out of commission. Happy to say things are getting back into the groove.</p>
<p>I have to do some re-tracking on a single from my solo debut album after I decided the track needs to slow down a couple of BPM, it is going to make this song sound so much better and I can't wait to share music that I've been writing over these years.</p>
<p>Also, might be expanding the operation and helping other artists even more. Stay tuned for updates.</p>

Here's to 2021 bringing some calmer waters and better days.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">For me personally, I'm glad the days are coming ever forward on. The more distance I put between painful memories and where I'm standing at the moment, the greater clarity I gain. This was not an easy year but that's why I write music.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Speaking of which, I wrote several new songs this year that will be on my debut solo album. This year showed me that every time I thought I had said enough, there was still so much left. A single will be released in the coming months.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_large">I will be working to be a better organized and engaged company here at Missed The Mark Records. There's so much I want to do in terms of composition, performances, and making stronger connections with you fans that keep all of this going. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">With music, I want to provide a more two-way street were you are more engaged in establishing the vibes and topics of content I put out.</span></p>

Instead of rushing myself like I've done so much before in the past, I took my time and used the recording and mixing of "Gonna Slow Down" as a learning experience in my craft of music production. Even though it was sometimes quite stressful due to standing back up when failure after failure had knocked me down, I've enjoyed the knowledge I've gained and know it will prove to be useful.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 16.8px;">As normal my mental health does seem to be a factor in terms of utilizing social media to inform people of my going's on. I'm choosing to do less posts but hopefully make them more quality. I'm not a person who glorifies my own ego nor carters to the narcissistic tendencies of our modern times. I create art for myself and for those who I can touch with what I create. I don't want to sell myself to you like I'm a product.

Looking forward to meeting new people and bringing those already on board along for the ride as I travel.</span></span></p>Missed The Mark Recordstag:missedthemarkrecords.com,2005:Post/54905992018-10-29T11:28:28-04:002018-12-17T17:29:25-05:0010-29-18<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span class="font_large">So excited to finally share my 1st single since launching my solo career!
