About Me

North Austin hillbilly , country singer/songwriter w/ band, I have been blessed to be able to play with such fine musicians such as my good friend Skinny Don Keeling, Charlie Prichard, Jim Bowles,Jon Jaffe,Jason Arnold,Jerry Renshaw,Ray Tesmer. I also am very honored to have Sammy and Son Geezinslaw as my biggest supporters.I'm a native Austinite who has always been a big music fan, from an early age I have been fascinated with songs, lyrics and arrangements, some of my biggest songwriting heroes are Billy Joe Shaver, Townes Van Zant,Rodney Crowell,Harlan Howard and Hank Cochran. I started noodling on a guitar for the first time working the graveyard shift at Austin State Hospital back in 97 and haven't put it down since. I've enjoyed the fun I have had and the friends I have made on my musical journey !
