You know where I stand , 'cause it's next to you.

About Me

I was based out of Charlotte, NC, but have just moved back to Augusta, GA. I'm also spending significant amounts of time in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where my lovely girlfriend is schooling. My songs are about girls that I have wanted, girls that have wanted me, but I haven't wanted, the ups and downs of love, bad haircuts, towns that just seem to hold you back, how complex God is, and I'm writing several songs about rabbits and spaceships at the moment. And robots. Not to mention lying to people on your profile on Myspace. (har har)
I try to treat any crowd the same way, whether or not I play for 20 people or 200. I think the crowds really seem to get that impression, too.
In July, 2004, my friend Mike Mitschele (Jolene, The Alternative Champs, et al) and I got together in the studio and produced "Old North State". I have shared the stage with The Mersey Sound, gogoPilot, Hard Times Family, The Near Misses, Tomorrow is Forever, Queen City Knights, and Dodd Ferrelle and the Tinfoil Stars, The Virginia Reel, Jay Garrigan of Poprocket, La Rua, and The New Familiars, Perry, and Andrew Cherry, among others.
