About Me

I am in the middle of writing a new record, and we are just getting ready to start recording the first tracks. A couple of the demos are already on the player.. I just posted a couple of live solo acoustic videos in the video section as well. I am also just starting to try and put a new band together, so keep your eye out for us in the near future.

Influences: Christ... Somebody I trust told me I sound like Tom Waits singing John Prine songs backed up by Steve Earle's band...and I can live with that. I love Charlie Robison, Buddy Miller, 70's Country (B-3 & Pedal Steel...), Southern Rock, Reckless Kelly, Hayes Carll & Ray Wylie Hubbard... you get the drift...
