About Me

The instrumental guitar songs I've posted here on myspace I recorded solo instrumental in my home studio. These are some scratch pad ideas for an upcoming CD. Blake Chisley is the voice on the tracks "Magdelana" & "Destiny" here on myspace.Blake and I have since joined with Brad Townsend, Bill Crumley and Drew Burgess to form Get In Tha Van. We are playing all over Ohio in 2008, so check back here for dates. We will have an official GITV website up soon.
