About Me

Raised in West Virginia - spent time in Boston gigging and schooling in the mid '80s I have lived in Nashville since 1988 when I came to town for a gig and have been toughing it out here ever since. I play live and in the studio with a bunch of different people - check out the music for stuff I've done recently - and come and see Rob McNelley or Jonell Mosser if you're in Nashville, or Dolly Parton or Trisha Yearwood out on the road.Ok, enough of that. Check out some music that you like. Anywhere. It will make your day better.
