About Me

Myspace Layouts - Image Hosting - Forums

Music has been somewhat of a recent discovery for me. I've always loved singing, and I picked up a guitar a few years ago so that I could continue to sing. I've been writing songs and playing out for a few years now. I started out on my own, but I recently met up with a few great musicians to work on a new project.I now perform in a band called Duke Junior & The Smokey Boots. The band consists of Mr. Kyle Martin (songwriter, vocals, acoustic guitar, ukulele), Mr. Casey Davis (dobro, steel-body, banjo, electric guitar, "image" & "sound" specialist), and me (songwriter, vocals, acoustic guitar, ukulele). It's been a lot of fun working with such great musicians. We will soon have an album out and will be lining up some shows in the near future.Please, don't be a stranger.

Sounds Like: "A HEATED UP BOTTLE OF AUNT JEMIMA.""Jess Kauffman drew in a growing crowd with her soulful voice. Singer-songwriter Kauffman took a modern twist on county-blues twang, channeling both Loretta Lynn and Fiona Apple. The early crowd was happy to play the role of an accompanying percussion section, stomping along to Kauffman's solo strum. " -The Athens News Monday, Aug. 25, 2008
