Sounds Like: A mash-up of all the great music I've ever heard and my own ideas. There may just be elements of every genre represented in my music. I would say I play the guitar like a man possessed, or like a 1920s banjo player. I dunno. I could a say that there is a lot of malice and sadness in my music, but it also sounds extremely happy. I can and can't control it, but it's my life and I live in a speaker.
