Hey Trey,

Welcome to the IC. I dig your songs. Immediately reminded me of Gram Parsons:

Have you done the USP exercise yet?

I ask because it's often less important what we sound like, and more important what we represent. For example, Green Day and the Sex Pistols may sound similar, but fans of often hate the other, because they represent fairly different things.

This is not to say that going off of sound is not worth trying. I always try finding similar artists based on sound, but I focus more on the values of the audience than the specifics of the sound, because at the end of the day it is going to be your "bold claim or promise about the experience that your music offers" that pulls people in, not usually the music itself, initially.
