About Me

Profile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0 I'm just a country boy from WV. Born in Trout Valley. Grew up on farms. Learned banjo from my Uncle T when I was 12. My first guitar came out of the trash. It was an old Harmony. It had one string. I played it for hours. Bought my first real one when I was 15. Been playing something ever since. Spent time cutting trees, old family habit. My great grandfather was a timber man, played fiddle. My Grandad was a timber man. Helluva fighter. My uncle and cousins still do it everyday. I'm quarter Cherokee. I'm currently in 2 bands- Rust Kings, my band of 14 years now and The Wild Rumpus. I'm going to be updating with pics, vids, etc. on this site along with my own personal songs and such that haven't made it on either bands set lists. So check back every so often!
