About Me

Born in the deep south I was raised in the beautiful sunshine, suffocating humidity and the buzz of a region awakening from it's years of social conservatism. I traveled around the country for a few years ending up in Boise with two wonderful children, a guitar, and a job...(Ha, ha, still working on getting rid of the latter) I seem to enjoy all things stringed, and was driven to play music initially by the love I have always had for the great old blues, folk, and blue grass recordings... My music tends to lean towards the moody side of things, touching on politics, emotional stimulation, and devastation, trying all the while to embrace some humor, and happiness... The songs are always based out of the reality that I have experienced within this life. Most of all I try to always keep the music alive, in a constant motion of growth, and development... So give some of these songs a listen, hopefully you will enjoy the music. retro layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

No Road Home

As she sits within these cabin wallsA bottle and the fire are all that keep her warmSomething whispers from within the flamesReminding her there is no road home again    As a red sky le...

Winter settles in....

These days of grey, stand outward  Like the misty morning, or the knarled and  bent trees; Movment, there is no motion, except that  Of the chilled breeze  Cold lay ...

Light lay splintered across the late day sky As every movement embraces the night Two miles from the foot of  the hill rest my bones A bottle and a song, with nowhere to roam Times have left us b...
