About Me

I am a songwriter, living in Nashville, TN. This myspace is our secret little spot where I can share the music that is new and dear to my heart. This does not always translate to commercial songs. I write music trusting it will be shared and enjoyed. Thank you all so much for being here and listening. I would have little to sing about if it weren’t for you. My hope is that you’ll find a song or two to pick you up, put a smile on your face or maybe even discover that you’re not alone in your struggles. I cherish you guys more than you’ll ever even know.

Influences: ..

A tough question. There are so many great writers. Look at the new & older music music of Nashville. Those songs contain the goods that I'm most influenced by. Know it or not, writers are the very heart of the Nashville music industry and without them artists wouldn't really have a lot to sing about.

Musically, I'm all over the map. I'm definitely influenced by the music that was in my house growing up which was jazz & rock & roll. The thing that I still can't figure out is where I got my love for southern musical grit. That's something that sneaks in about 1 out of 3 songs. And I love bluegrass too.

So there you have it. To list detailed names would certainly mean leaving out important influences. But in general, if they've had a long career in music I respect them. I know better than most how hard a job it can be. And even if I'm not wild about songs with a first listen, I can usually find the spark of what they do that makes them special and appreciate their efforts.
