A solo artist who carved out a lane for straightforward, guitar-driven rock in the 1980s and kept writing songs for decades after.
If you want to hear what he's about, start with 'My Kinda Lover' or 'Catch 22.' They're both good examples of that direct, riff-heavy sound.
Squier's 1981 album 'Don't Say No' gave rock radio a solid hit with 'My Kinda Lover,' a track built on a big riff and direct lyrics. That record, along with 'Emotions in Motion' a year later, defined his sound for a lot of listeners. Later songs like 'Catch 22' stuck to the same kind of guitar-driven rock he was known for.
He came out of Massachusetts in the late 1970s, first with a band called Piper before going solo. After a break in the 1990s, he returned to making music in the 2000s with albums like 'Happy Blue,' and released 'Liberty Road' in 2018.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
