About Me


NEW PHOTOS!!! ABOVE ARE SOME PHOTOS FROM THE LAST FEW TOOTSIES GIGS...COME ON OUT AND JOIN IN ON THE GOOD TIMES!!!
Check out the video link on the page. I have the debut of "Good Problems" at Tootsie's. It's an original tune penned with Brent Baxter.
The big news is I now have a weekly gig at the premiere honky tonk here in Music City U.S.A., Tootsie's Orchid Lounge on Lower Broadway. The list of legends that have played (and/or drank) at this club is unbelievable: Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and on and on. Anyway, I will be there with the band EVERY WEDNESDAY in the downstairs room from 6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. Come out for a "country fix" and a few "hollers and swallers!"
Thanks to everyone who supports the cause!
I'm working on doing a lot of updating so keep checking back. I'm hoping within the next few months to have songs available for purchase through myspace and a street team link for those of you who would like to help spread the word about gigs & new music.
