history: Beau is an alternative rock singer-songwriter originally hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area and currently writing, recording, and performing in LA and Orange County. His diverse and prolific collection of songs have been described as “electrifying,” “haunting,” “classic” and “adventurous” (see compilation of reviews ). While Alternative Rock/Indie is the primary genre he is aligned with, his songs delve all over the pop/rock map including Post-Punk, New Wave, Rockabilly, Glam Rock, Progressive Rock, Psychedelic, Reggae, Folk, Disco, Electroclash, and House. Such a vivid array of genres imbues his sound with an aura of true originality all the while nodding to Beau’s eclectic assemblage of influences. The artists Beau has most deeply looked to for inspiration include David Bowie, Morrissey and The Smiths, Radiohead, REM, The Cure, Joy Division, Tori Amos, Love, Television, The Doors, Velvet Underground, Blonde Redhead and Roxy Music. Madonna, Scissor Sisters, New Order, Peaches, Dirty Sanchez, Prince and Depeche Mode are some of Beau’s favorite dance orientated artists that have affected the more “rhythmic” moments of his ouevre. Some of the themes flowing throughout his work include alienation, social disorder, the esoteric, alternate realities, death, totalitarianism, existentialism, fashion, spirituality, sanity, sex, decadence, love, betrayal, disillusionment and escape.
