Reggie Sanderson writes songs well.

He sings them decently.

Hi, I’m Reggie.

I’m an emotional guy who loves puns and was raised in a musical household. In other words, I had no choice but to become a songwriter.

Like my feelings, my musical taste is all over the place. A little outlaw country (Cody Jinks, Sturgill Simpson), a little Brit-Pop (The 1975, The Japanese House), a little reverbed-out dad rock (War on Drugs, Sam Fender), and a lot of Kacey Musgraves.

My songwriting is inspired by all of the above, with a hefty helping of some Rust Belt rawness. I hope my songs make you feel a little sadder, sappier, or sexier than you did 5 minutes ago.

Reach out if you’d like to cut one of my songs, co-write with me, or book me for a gig.

I’ve written hundreds of songs. Most of them aren’t so good. But I think a few of ‘em are pretty darn good. Check the lyrics out below and let me know what you think.

If your eyes like what they see, reach out and I’ll send you full demo(s). If your ears are also intrigued, I’d love for you - or whoever you represent - to record my songs on your next record. I bet you’ll make ‘em sound pretty darn great.

From half-baked ideas in the shower to half-finished songs that I can’t seem to complete on my own, here’s a peek into my bag of unfinished song scraps.

See something that strikes your fancy? I’d love your help brainstorming these songs. Drop me a line and let’s write the rest of the lines together…

book me for a gig

Elegant weddings. Friday night dive bars. Sold-out music halls. Farm festivals.

I’ve performed for all kinds of people in all kinds of places. My sweet spot is acoustic guitar and vocals, but I’ll bring out a fiddle or viola when the time is (or isn’t) right. (My wife used to call me the Flea Market, since she never knew what she’d find me playing. I think it was a compliment?)

If you’re looking for timeless, personal music for an event or gig, reach out. I’m likely interested.

The Reggie Recipe

Original Songs

Songs I wrote that people say are good.

Because if you only want me to cover songs written by other people, may I suggest something called Spotify? It has those people singing their own songs.

Niche Covers

Songs I love, but most folks don’t know.

The curious crowd gets to find some new favorite artists. The in-the-know crowd gets to tell their friends how cool they are for knowing these songs.
