About Me

Welcome.
Shows are forthcoming. They are full band unless otherwise noted. Please take note.
Currently writing new songs. They bounce in my head while I take a shower, and as I'm drying off I figure out what they're about. After proper gestation periods they are birthed and debuted. You're welcome for the pregnancy analogy.
You should come meet us:
At present I am joined by the exceptional Joey Roberts and Isaac Waring. They make my music better. I quite think you will like their treatment of my tunes. Please join us at one of our upcoming gigs as we work towards a new recording date, yet to be determined--probably in the spring--where we will record a live show in which you are all invited and will be expected to generate much enthusiasm. That will be the record. Because I never should be separated from my guitar when I sing. It's just not the same.
I haven't really used it yet, but you can join the mailing list if you like that sort of thing. I find that I end up ignoring most of the mailing lists that come to my inbox unless I'm super excited about the artist that sent me the email. So you probably shouldn't sign up unless you're super excited about my music. And if you're that sort of person, you probably don't need a mailing list to tell you when the next show is, because you saw it here, and you probably already know. At any rate, here it is:

Provo, Utah (October 30, 2007)
