About Me

I sing and play Fiddle, Mandolin, and Guitar for the newest country-rockin' band in Atlanta, SunDown. My style is a lil bit Country, a little bit Rock & Roll Im originally from Syracuse, NY, and moved down here in October '05. I play solo, and with many different acts and in many different formats around town, but my main project is SunDown, where I write songs as well!. You can catch me playing around town at Wild Wing Cafe in Alpharetta, Limerick Junction in the VA Highlands, and Front Page News (both Midtown and Lil 5 points locations).
