LOOKING FOR THE CONSUMMATE COUNTRY ENTERTAINER? THIS 30 SOMETHING, DARK HAIRED, BLUE EYED MUSICIAN'S 6'6" PHYSICAL PRESENCE IS DWARFED BY HIS HUGE TALENT. HE HAS AN INNATE INTELLIGENCE REGARDING MUSIC ALTHOUGH HE IS SELF TAUGHT, AND LEAD GUITAR IS HIS STRENGTH, HE NEVER MET AN INSTRUMENT HE COULDN'T MASTER, OR A SENTIMENT HE COULDN'T ARTlCULATE IN SONG.HE'S BEEN PLAYING GUITAR SINCE HIS DADDY HELD HIS FINGERS TO THE STRINGS. HE BEGAN PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY AT 14, WlTH A LOCAL BAND HIS DAD STARTED. HE QUICKLY OUTGREW THEM AND PARTICIPATED IN MANY LOCAL SEATTLE BASED GROUPS SINCE THEN.HIS ALMOST OXYMORONIC BLEND OF NORTH CAROLINA HlLLBILLY HERITAGE AND PACIFIC NORTHWEST ROOTS BRING A DIVERSIFIED TALENT TO THE TABLE. HE IS ONE BIG HEART OF COUNTRY, WlTH THE COMPUTER SAVVY OF ANY MICROSOFT GEEK, PRODUCING EVERY ASPECT OF HIS OWN CD's AS WELL AS PRODUCING FOR OTHER ARTISTS.ADD TO HIS TECHNICAL ABILITIES, LILTING VOCALS AND INCREDIBLE HARMONIES, REMINISCENT OF GENE WATSON, VINCE GILL, JOHN ANDERSON, KEITH WHITLEY, AND DWIGHT YOKAM, AND YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF AN ENTERTAINER THAT CAN BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES OR MAKE THE MOST PASSIVE LISTENER WANT TO BUY BOOTS AND SIGN UP FOR DANCE LESSONS. HIS SHY SOUTHERN DEMEANOR ONLY ADDS TO HIS CHARM. HE CAN WORK A ROOM INTO A FEVERISH PARTY PITCH, MOVE THEM TO STAND UP AND SING GOD BLESS AMERICA, OR HAVE THEM LEAVING TO CALL THEIR MAMA.HIS SIGNATURE GUITAR LICKS ARE IDENTIFIABLE EVEN TO THE UNTRAINED EAR.HIS SONG WRITING ORIGINATES FROM SOMEWHERE DEEP IN HIS HEART AND HIS STAGE PRESENCE IS UNIVERSALLY ENDEARING.HE'S PLAYED WlTH GROUPS THAT WERE PRIVILEGED TO OPEN FOR SUCH FAMOUS HEADLINERS AS... FREDDY FENDER, MERLE HAGGARD, GLEN CAMPBELL, CHARLIE DANIELS, JOHN CONLEY, DOUG STONE, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, GENE WATSON, THE BLUES BROS, NEIL McCOY, COLLlN RAY AND SHE DAISEY TO NAME A FEW.THE REMARKABLE THING IS, HE SEEMS SO UNAFECTED BY HIS OWN ABILTIES. TO HIM, HIS MUSICAL GIFT IS LIKE BREATHING....ENJOY!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 30/01/2007
Influences: My biggest influences are J D Hoag, Teddy "The Bear" Cloer, Merle Haggard and Vince Gill. Their guitar styles really caught my ear at a very young age. So I guess that i'm all of them wrapped in a very tall package.
