About Me

Been writing and playing songs since I was 14, but didn't start performing until about four years ago. I consider myself to be more of a singer than a guitarist - I can't play worth beans, but I've accepted that. Someone else can play lead. I like going unplugged... I think this is due to the fact that no matter how much I play out, I still can't navigate around mic stands, cords, and other performers. I don't know how to classify my music... I don't really want to. I'm trying to get some more material recorded and posted... it'll happen slowly. One of these days.
