About Me

Back in the day, Nomad played guitar, sang, and wrote most of the material for the grunge-rock band, Mudhead,in Indiana. He then abruptly took up the nomadic lifestyle in the mid-nineties and found his love for theroad while performing solo in various college towns along the way.
Addicted to the road and the pleasures that it brings, there is little question as to where Nomad found hisinspiration for the great songs that appear on his CD, Trails To Hear And Now. The songs are filled withthought-provoking lyrics that question the norm and with great melodies that linger in one's head.
Primarily a guitarist and singer-songwriter, Nomad has come forth to display a broad array of talent onTrails To Hear And Now where all the instruments are played by him, creating a tight full band sound thatrocks. Whether it's the sweet mandolin fills, tight bass grooves, vocal harmonies, or the great acousticrhythms, Nomad shows us his multi-talented abilities to rock our world. Trails To Hear And Now showcasesgreat songwriting abilities with songs that inspire, enlighten, and get your booty groovin'!
Nomad currently performs as a solo artist and also with his band, Drifting Compass .
