About Me

My Bio:I have played with some of Nashville's Most Premier Artists such as National Recording Arist Lee Brice of Curb Records (my current gig). Lee wrote Garth Brooks #1 single "More Than A Memory" and is an accomplished artist in his own right, Thom Shepherd (hit writer of "Riding with Private Malone" & "Redneck Yacht Club") and the Twang Thang band. I also gigged on a 3 year SEC tour with my friend and recording artist, Jared Ashley & the Dirty South Band.I occaisonally do some fill in work as well on Lower Broadway with some of my soon to be famous friends at Nashville's Honky-Tonks & Clubs, such as The Stage, Tootsies, the 2nd Fiddle, Legend's Corner, Laylas and Crossroads.My Background:My parents tell me I was born with drumsticks in my hands. Since an early age my energetic performances have wowed audiences. Musically, I am driven mostly by my own natural ability to read and play. My formal training was derived through pure ambition and learning to read and play music in secondary education. I put together my own style taught locally for more than 10 years, I call it giving back. I am deep rooted in Country however but also have a strong liking to Southern Rock and draws from it's diversity to add to my own style.I have toured the country and opened for National Acts such as Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, Reba, Trisha Yearwood, James Otto, Little Big Town, Sawyer Brown, Chely Wright, Gary Allan, David Allan Coe, Shenandoah, Confederate Railroad, Warren Brothers Ricky Lynn Gregg, Mustang Sally, Highway 101, & Lila McCann. He toured with Carnival Cruise Lines, and was the chosen drummer for the Jimmy Dean True Value Country Show Down in Maryland. He earned Top Drummer awards in December of 1995 from Music Monthly Magazine. Currently he works as a professional drummer for Lee Brice. I am well respected locally for my hard work, dedication and true professionalism.
