About Me

I am a full time, touring musician. I perform my own songs and my versions of other peoples’ songs. I am not a cover artist. I recreate other artists’ works. I’m on an endless tour of small taverns, big convenience stores, living rooms and dark alleys. If you let me, I’ll sing in your kitchen & then I’ll crash on your couch. In the morning, I’ll pretend to be sleeping when you leave for work. When you’re gone, I’ll get up and try on all your clothes, eat your ice cream, do my laundry & download all your cds to my ipod (and you won’t mind!)

Dave Sansoucie, Ryan Peters, Kenton Shelly & Brooks Fu&**ckin' West!

One of the problems with being a full time gigging dude is that you rarely get to go to see other musicians play. This past Saturday at the Harp & Fiddle, all the other musicians came ...

Quoting Jesus.

I'm pretty sure when Jesus said "Love thy enemies", he meant "don't kill them"......just a thought on all this war stuff.
