"Better Off Dad" is Jaimee Harris and her dad. We live outside of Waco, Texas...and we play live as an acoustic duo, mostly in Dallas. Jaimee is 17 now. Dad is...older.
We began gigging on the weekends at various venues throughout Texas in late 2004, and we're having a lot of fun with it. We've recorded three full length CD's, and unlike all of "Dad's" previous efforts, these actually sell.
Jaimee's my daughter, so I'm biased, but I think she has a lot of talent, and it's been a thrill to see her grow as a musician and an artist over the past couple of years. Most of our stuff is recorded as we write it (with much assistance from generous and talented musicians from various places around the internet). Our live shows consist of just the two of us with guitars, but we wanted to do more with the recordings.
More than anything, this project is an opportunity to spend time with my daughter, and to teach her what I know (good and bad) about music and the business thereof and about what's REALLY required for people who want to do it full-time. I haven't scared her off yet, but there's still time. We have a (live) video on the mp3 page of our website...It's old now...man, I wanna' do that again.
Some songs don't belong, or are misspelled, or don't have audio
iLike derives song/artist names from the music libraries of users who install the iLike Sidebar for iTunes & Windows Media Player. The data from user libraries shows on the site as-is, but we do our best to sort tracks by popularity. Hence the tracks at the bottom of the page may be incorrect, but they accurately reflect what our users listen to.
