About Me

Extended Banner Editor MySpace Editor MySpace Layouts Glitter Words MySpaceI live in the southwest corner of Virginia where I have lived for the past 15 years... I sing and play bluegrass music, beginning at age 9 when I first picked up a fiddle... Music is my passion, and singing is something I never get tired of doing... I am currently working on a demo in hopes of promoting myself, and getting back out there into the music scene... I haven't done too much musically in the past year, but at this present time, I am very focused on my music and very determined to make it... I've had a life-long dream of having a successful music career, and though there has been some ruff patches and some unexpected turns along my road to getting there, I have never given up, and I never will... I play the fiddle, mandolin, and guitar and a little on the bass... I had my own band a few years back.. "Teenage Grass." I played the mandolin/fiddle and sung some lead and all tenor.. We were actually pretty well known... After we decided to go our seperate ways, I began playing fiddle and singing tenor in my brothers' band, "Ernie Thacker & Route 23.." My time spent in my brothers' band was some of the greatest times of my life.. I have SO many awesome memories of being out on the road... I am now BACK in my brother's band, playing rhythm guitar and singing! So I'm back to making more awesome memories out on the road... I am so happy to be back in the band, getting to do what I love more than anything... Traveling & making music for the people who love to hear it... I have written a lot of my own songs, and I still continue to write today.. As long as the world turns there will always be something interesting to write a song about:) I'm just about as plain and simple as it comes... One important thing I feel I have learnt thus far in my life is that you should ALWAYS believe in youself nomatter what, and you should NEVER give up on your dream, nomatter how many odds are stacked against you. Because if you give up on your dream, your dream will give up on you... I think John Lenon said it best... "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me....."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Keith Whitley, Janis Joplin and John Lenon. Unfortuantly, its alittle too late to meet them..I would have also loved to have met Chris Farley. Anytime I'm feeling down I can always turn on a Chris Farley movie, or my SNL "The best of Chris Farley" DVD and I just can't help but feel better!! Laughter is the best medicine for the soul, and Chris Farley can always bring a smile to my face... Just like my brother Matt.. I would also LOVE to meet Jack Black & Kyle Gass. Otherwise known as Tenacious D. Jack Black is my favorite comedic actor. I can watch his movies over & over & over. I also LOVE Tenacious D & their music. I think it would be awesome to just spend a day hanging out and rocking with The D. There just funny guys!! Some people were just born with the ability to make people laugh, no matter what the situation may be.. And what can I say. I love to laugh!! :-) I would also like to meet Sheryl Crow, Dolly Parton Loretta Lynn and Reba Mcentire. I would love to record a song with Brad Paisley or Ronnie MIlsap.. I would also love to record a song with Dan Tyminski.. What an awesome and down-to-earth guy... I met Alison Krauss when she and my brother Ernie recorded together, and when she performed at Ralph Stanley's festival, but that was years ago. I would love to meet her again someday and really have the chance to just set down and talk with her. I admire her so much. I have seen her rise all the way to the top. From years ago, watching her perform at Ralph Stanleys festival with sweat pants on underneath her dress because it was sooooo terribly cold, until now, watching her videos on CMT. She is truly an amazing women. And last but not least, Bob Dylan... I'm a huge Dylan fan... I plan to meet and sing with him in the very near future... We might even write a song together!! :) Theres actually alot of people that I would like to meet.. Thats just a few... OHHH, and BRET MICHAELS... But what girl in her right mind, wouldn't want to meet him... I wanta go on his show "Rock Of Love", and show him that what he REALLY needs is a Country Girl that can get up on stage and rock out right beside of him!! LOL...
