With a diverse and definitive style our songwriting skills are reminiscent of a time when a song made a lasting impression. Whether it’s the Progressive Rock Blues of “Sooner or Later” or the almost fifties ballad “Song 57” we remain original by not having a predetermined course. This is our work, composed and performed by Chazz Kent and Lorrin Barnes, self-proclaimed “songwriting team of the century”.

Chazz Kent & Lorrin Barnes

Richard “Chazz” Kent and Lorrin Barnes, began their songwriting journey four years ago at Chazz’s basement apartment in a rural town in Massachusetts. Somewhere in between Chazz’s classical influence and Lorrins multicolored style there was born a song and then another and another and so on and so forth.

It is hard to pin the songs down to one particular style. Our music ranges from Country Rock Ballads to progressive Blues with a Gospel fling. We don’t follow any particular pipeline. Sometimes Lorrin sings some off the wall lyrics and Chazz somehow finds the perfect guitar for it. Usually our songs are inspired by a musical idea, meshed with our beliefs and experiences. Our best Lyrics come from these conversations. The guitar riffs if not new, are brought down from the shelves of Chazz’s mental archive and dusted off.

As we take flight on a new project, we have envisioned a common goal. We have come to know that songwriting is our passion. We each had our experience with the Club/Gig scene and both realize that our strength lies in the creation of the song.
