About Me

I'm a singer-songwriter from Atlanta, but I've spent a fair amount of time in New York, Boston, Connecticut, Martha's Vineyard and Colorado. In my journeys I've met incredible people who constantly influence the way I think about music.Currently I am playing solo shows around Atlanta and with Topsy Fast Stop, featuring members from Dave Grohl's favorite band The Letters Organize. So that's cool.I'm finally releasing my first full solo album towards the end of the summer. Details to follow.
