About Me


Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Backgrounds at MySpace Toolbox !I have been based in L.A. for the past 6 years and recently arrived in Nashville, looking for some fresh air and a porch swing. I came to Nashville for a few weeks in November 2005 to record an album with my band, The Cash Diners, at Omni Sound Studios. It was an amazing experience, great studio and even better musicians. We had Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Clockhammer, Swag) and Audley Freed (Black Crowes, Dixie Chicks) as well as Tim Marks and Scotty Huff, incredible session guys. The Cash Diners didn't make it past the release of the album, but I absolutely fell in love with Nashville.My solo EP, some of which is posted here, was produced in 2007 by Ken Coomer and mixed by Charlie Brocco (engineer for George Harrison, B.B. King, and Patty Griffin among others). The band is listed to the left. I've never had so much fun as I did making this record. I even got Charlie Cushman to play my great-grandfather's banjo (circa 1915) which I just inherited from my Grandma.Drop a line. Or pick up a copy of the EP by clicking on the paypal link below. Just $6 plus a buck for shipping. I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for stopping by!

When I first moved to Nashville, Ken took me to a little bar in hipster East Nashville.  I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first.  There was no doubt the vibe was great... relaxed at...

Did that really just happen?!

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and be a star struck, knock-kneed dork about this... Last weekend I was scheduled to play a round at the Bluebird, perhaps the most well-established songwrit...

I had to go to the mall today to get my ear pierced.  After 15 years and for no particular reason, the hole in my right ear closed permanantly last week, so I toddled over to mall, dodg...

The music is endless
