i am a unique song writer. My influences are everything from the Beatles to Willie Nelson to Ray Charles. I love authentic sounding, ethereal melodies. My strength in song writing are ballads. It's just something that is inside me and comes very easy to me. I want to write songs for myself but also for the all-time greats in the music industry.

Uncle Dude Bio

My real name is Tony DeNardo, a songwriter and bassist of the metro Detroit blues rock trio, the Muggs. I've been songwriting ever since I could make 3 chords. My story takes a hairpin turn as I am now handicapped due to a stroke I suffered at 28 years of age. I have wonderful friends whom believe in my songwriting abilities and therefore I have been able to fulfill my vision for the songs I write by commandeering some of the best metro Detroit musicians to play the instruments that I can no longer play. I sing all the songs and also harmonize on most of the tracks. I would describe my music as the Beach Boys meets Beck. I would love to write love songs, country and pop genre music for a living and see myself always songwriting.
