About Me

What can I say I love music, I love writing it, I love recording it, I love performing it. Music is my mistress and my muse. I have grown tired of the crap that is passed as music and is repeatably played over and over again. Music once meant something. Lyrics once had meaning. My only hope is that one day it will again. Music can shape our lives, it should be thought provoking and speak of the world which we are living in. Acoustic Rock is the term that I generally use to classify my music, sometimes heavy guitar with soaring vocals, and sometimes a lighter guitar with storytelling vocals, the lines of a specific genre are often blurred, but the elements of many are present. Lyrically my music reflects the world around us, the direction of our society, as well as my own struggle to walk in the light in a world that seems to being growing ever darker.
