Hello Douglas, I spent some time listening to your work, and there's something interesting about the direction of your sound, it already carries a kind of mood and structure that tends to translate well outside the usual release cycle. Not in an obvious way, but in the kind of spaces where music is used more intentionally (film, sync, placements, etc.). Have you ever explored that side of things before?
Hi Douglas, I've been reviewing a few catalogs on Broadjam, and your name came up in that process. I work closely with artists on the sync side, specifically identifying what's actually holding strong records back from being considered for placements. I'd like to take one of your tracks through a Sync-Ready Audit. That means looking beyond the music itself and into the details that supervisors quietly filter for metadata structure, registration alignment, and overall pitch readiness. Just a clear breakdown of where your track stands and what could make it more placement-ready. If you're open to it, send me a link to the track you'd want reviewed: wuradigitals@gmail.com Best regards, Wura Digital Services Sync Strategy & Catalog Development
Hi Wura - thank you for making contact - let me think about which track and get back to you.I am going into the studio with some new tracks and updated production values... as well. Warm regards...Till the next note is played DB
Hi Db+1, I recently listened to your track "Under The Star" and spent some time listening. The production and overall feelings really stood out to me, it has a clear direction and the melody feels more than a casual release. The arrangement and sound choice really gave it a strong, placement ready, vibe. Just wanted to reach out and say you're building something solid here. Always good to see intentional work on Broadjam. If i may ask! Are you currently focusing more on sync opportunities, streaming growth, or just creating freely at the moment?
Hi Patrick thanks for reaching out. Also cool on your comments - appreciated. On my existing tracks sure still looking for placement. I have about 13 newer songs I am passionate about....Aging rock dude....Planning to get to recording them with energy and high production values. I have another direction soon...alogn the lines of speck mountain radio and anthemetic groove pop...vibes. How about you what you up to in early 2026? Thank you dB
Hey... Greetings Douglas dB, I appreciate you taking the time to share that, and honestly, that direction you're stepping into (that Speck Mountain / anthemic groove pop lane) is a very smart pivot right now. There's real placement potential sitting in that pocket when it's positioned the right way. Also, the fact you've got 13 newer songs you're passionate about, that's actually the part that caught my attention more than anything. Most artists don't realize it, but that stage right there is where things either turn into real opportunities... or just sit untouched for years. On my end early 2026... I've been deep in catalog positioning and sync prep work. Mainly helping artists take what they already have (or are about to release) and aligning it so it actually fits what supervisors and licensing teams are pulling for right now... not just putting music out and hoping it connects. From what you said, you're kind of at a key moment: - You've got existing material still viable for placement - You've got a new batch coming with a clearer direction - And you're thinking about production before release (which is where most people miss it) That combination is exactly where things can be dialed in properly. I do have a couple of ideas on how you could approach both sides (your current catalog + the new direction) so they don't compete with each other, and instead actually build momentum together. Rather than go back and forth here, shoot me a quick note at patrickumeshsocial@gmail.com when you get a minute. Easier to map it out cleanly there and I'll show you what I'm seeing from your angle. Either way... respect to what you're building. There's intention behind it, and that goes a long way. Warm Regard, Patrick
Thank you so much for the 5 stars for Getting Old Is Not For Sissies. We appreciate it. Doreen & William
Hi Douglas....Just stopping by to give ya a big "THANK YOU" for your kind review of BroGreede's "Annabelle". This song has a special place in my heart because it's one of the last tunes my brother sang before he passed suddenly back in 2011. BroGreede has a rather long and depressing history. It basically started out in 2001...just me(all instruments-keys-head songwriter) and my brother( lead vocalist /drummer). We were joined by my brother's good close friend/roomie 1/2 way through our 3rd. album who was a schooled multi-instrumentalist(guitar...bass ...keyboards..etc.). He also passed away suddenly ~ 6 years after brother. So...henceforth...now it's only me. My brother and I joined Bjam way back in 2001. When my brother died BG was essentially dead as well. The last band member and me just kept getting together-playing together and keeping memories alive. There is more to the story ...but I don't want to bother you with all that! I'm on Bjam just carrying the torch, keeping memories alive-and making some nice friends along the way! Please accept a friendship-that would be appreciated! Thanx in advance Douglas. Now I'm going to sit back and give some of your tunes a good listen!!!! Thank you for listening!!!! Tony Keys- BroGreede
Tony thank you for the background of the song. So sorry for the loss of your brother. Family is everything and the people we make music with as well. Annabelle - lives with your brother in time. I really enjoyed the song. it is a goood one. My song - people places and things live version, and the rant, and this beautiful country, feature Herc Fede (swirlies guitar finishes). on guitar. He passed away suddenly of heart attack years after being a Dave Mathews cover band in PA (one of the best). The drummer on those tracks Ed Mc Grogan - one of my best buds took his own life after some years of depression. I was really heartbroken. When he was up here and we saw a concert in New Milford featuring Joe Bouchard and Dennis Dunaway - Ian Hunter was there. Ed went right up to him and we talked for a few minutes and told him how much we appreciated him as an artist and his music. I live in CT and am still composing and have several new tunes I am juiced about (not yet recorded). It has been a hard journey as I lean toward alternative an punk and I am aging and most of my local friends are blues and folk. Love them also. I will jump back on and listen to some more of your catalogue thank you for reaching out. I consider you a new music friend and appreciate you! Douglas B - aka dB +1 860.248.0070
Hey Doug....thanx for getting back to me! Wow..I guess you've had a pretty rough road as well...Herc & Ed...unbelievable! Yes it cuts in...and cuts deep. The scars never go away-that's for sure! I completely understand! Hey good ole Ian & Mott The Hoople....cool stuff-that's wayyyy back!!I've met ba lot of famous players to date actually too many to mention...the last one being Dave Mason-was always a Mason fan!I'm looking forward to hearing more of your new music. Please feel free to send me when available so I could get a heads up listen. Also thanks for the tel. #...maybe we could text / call whatever -to stay tight-that would be cool. Lastly I have a sound-prroof recording studio on my premises- It's the ultimate man-cave for sure. It's rather large for a music studio. Essentially a house within a house ...totally soundproofed in every way...soundboard ...acoustic tiles throughout. State of the art lasers including 3-d...leds....special effects...evn fog for those special moments! A fully stocked bar with high-end liq....which I made special...including incredible ornaments...special lighting. Various instrumentation -including about 12 guitars...a couple basses..a couple acoustics....Roland custom V digital drums....Pearl acoustics (91)....6 major keyboard including some vintage! Pushing everything through older tech- which was the indie at the time!....Roland VS-1880 18 TR. -record right to CD ( the old method)...and I still believe one of the best! I'm currently working with a drummer from one of the older time big bands on Long Island..Naked truth-celebrating their 50th. year! Still playing seasonally! I have a lot of tunes-been on the back burner for many years-hopefully get them finally done! Would be nice! Hey bro...thanx for your tel . # and you should know you have an open invite anytime your on the island....just give a heads up!!! your brother in music, Tony Keys-BG
Hey Doug. B.....just wanted to say "thank you!!" for the good review and kind comments on "OTHERSIDE"....it's an old tune....way back in the inception of BG...just me & my brother-who since passed away suddenly in 2011! A very long history...I'm the only surviving musician /founder just carrying the torch and having some fun with the old tunes along the way! Currently looking for a musician or 2 who share the same passion to create new music- believe me it's a very tall order these days! Anyway...thanx again! I'm going to sit down and give a closer listen to your stuff!!! TK-(Tony Keys)- BroGreede
Hi, Douglas. if your songs are quirky, then we're all crazy! You have great appeal and I've listened to some of your songs the last couple of years, all terrific and enjoyable with melodies that have more hooks than a tackle shop and colorful lyrics with sharp wit. You're way ahead of me in your musicianship and I admire what you do. I'm very complimented that you gave my "Raindrop Soul" five stars. Many thanks and I'll come back here for more listens! John
Thank you for this thoughtful and spot on :) assessment. Love your own wit with words and will jump on your profile and check out your stuff. And your music (grin).

Sam thank you for your thoughtful review of my 4 track song demo from 1995 - "Laughin Bout It" - it has been recorded with fine tuned words a few times---and I have performed it solo and with bands - with the new chorus "when I am in love with life - why is all this hate, hate in this world."

Hello Fans, Friends, Musicians, and Songwriters. I finally uploaded my video for my song Suicide Bomber - Peace and Love Songs - NJOY (it is on my profile under videos). Thank you for watching and listening - PEACE
Hi Douglas, Many thanks for the stars for What If You're Wrong. It's a couple of years old now so I'm pleased you found it. One of my better songs/arrangements. Thanks again, Bob
Have just seen your review for WIYW Douglas, very kind words indeed. I fully understand your suggestion about taking it down a little as it is pretty much flat out all the way. I don't write so much rock now as I struggle to sing it!! If you were to look among my material there is a lot of country and a bit of pop but I do like to go back to my Deep Purple and (you're right!) Santana influences from time to time. Had a quick listen to your work, very original sound. Will try to listen properly when I have a mo. Thanks again for a great and useful review. Bob
Thank you so much for your amazing review of my song, Martha. Really means a lot to me. Ya - I'd love to hear David Gilmore play on this song!!!
Just got back from my February/March tour...it went GREAT. Brooke the Magic Roadie was my amazing sidekick. We did 17 show in 8 days the the Lord kept us safe on the road...even in the crazy West Palm Beach traffic. My favorite part of the tour was watching Brooke perform a 3 song set at Pine Castle Pioneer Days...she's becoming a great artist in her own right. I am so proud of her. Happy Spring!
Hi Kate thank you for your review for my early song demo of "Doing It" - Appreciate your thoughts - keep in mind it is satire and reflective --- I will listen to some of your songs as well. Soon I want to do some children's songs. Peace and Love and Harmony to you.
Hello Douglas, thank you for your gracious note. I hope my comments came across okay...yours sure did! Thanks and peace to you too! Mrs. Kate
Hey Powerklash ---some very cool writing, riffs, and performances. Got a logo? and more picts please...
Thanks Jeff, it feels so good when your work is appreciated. Penny will be thrilled 🎶🎹
Jeff - Thank you for your review of my song "People. Places and Things, Llve version. The references were insightful---and your review thorough. The lead guitarist was Herc the swirly guitar guy (RIP) I loved the few times we got to perform this one live and in the studio----he really had some flavourful guitar chops - jumping on to listen to some of your tunes - stay creative in 2018. - dB
btw I love your bio here 27 with another 30 stuck in--- can relate and am also sharing this with you "forget your age live your life" the musical one.
Thanks for your comments and review of my song "Under The Stars" - I am in CT just north of NYC and was down visiting family in Ambler, PA - I look forward to checking out your tunes. Stay creative in 2018.
