About Me

.."Im your dusty roads, your delta blues, pack of camels or two. I'll tell my stories if you want to sit a while and let me sing em for you. I carry a guitar slung across my back, most always dressed in black, im a bit weary for the wear but im still loveable through and through. My heros are Mellencamp, and Cash, and bob dylans stories i know like the back of my hand, JJ Cales jazzy blues yeah i can dig that. Im an americana singer how about you. Im around age 23 and i am a native of Nashville Tennessee , alt- country is what they'd like to call me and yeah i guess thats cool. Seems now ive grown up to know i fit like a glove into the outlaw country pack, if i had a full time band southern rock would really be where its at. But driftin with my harmonica and guitar thats cool too. Im a bit on the shy side, slippin in and out of bars on broadways lower side. But u just might catch me in the back sometime pickin a railroad song or the blues. But just dont blink cause ill be out the back door before you. Im Shadow thats what i do. "
