About Me


Click to help with Disaster Relief!

listen to the tunes i post up. i'd appreciate it. most of them are going to be unmastered, pc-recordings, but i'd still like to know what you think.I'm a guy. I was born on the island nation of Palau. Google that.

I'm 25 and I grew up in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. I've been playing guitar for 7 years. I went to Western Kentucky University a few years ago, where I was a member of FarmHouse.

I like bourbon the best, but boy, I love beer.

I'm gonna post mostly stuff I've written, maybe a couple covers. Then, when a record label offers me a multi-million dollar recording deal, I'll turn it down to preserve some perceived artistic integrity. I'll sell out eventually, because I lack the fortitude. now...download these free songs and put me in your life.
