About Me

I got into writing and playing acoustic folk several years ago. I had been playing Punk and Hard Rock years earlier. I now play the mandolin and sing in Pinebox Serenade. I play Electric guitar and sing in Dark Valley Harvesters. I play mandolin in The Jakeys. I also do solo sets on acoustic guitar when asked to. The second Pinebox Serenade album will be out soon on Devils Ruin records. There will be a lot of stuff coming out this year with my name on it. Im still working to get something out on the Hot Link label. Im sure my bullitons will get almost as annoying as those tattoo parlor bullitons.

Mmmbye

Mmmbye is not a word. Do not use it as a farewell gesture on the telephone. Bye is ok. Byebye is ok I guess. Goodbye is a little impersonal, but ok. Mmmbye is just dumb sounding.
