The Alt-Country Kid

Working on my new cd "Alone In The Covers" right now

About Me



/> .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..>..I'm a musician living in Reno, Nevada. 36 years old,I play guitar, harmonica, sing, and play a tambarine with my foot,I work for KDOT 104.5, I love radio, how did I get here again? Recently divorced, but I moved back in with her and so far things are good! I am writting songs for a new album, I am embaraseed about my first cd "Somebody Stole My Tractor" So the new one will have to make me happy to get put out. I'm recording it in my home studio so the sound quality will be there this time around. My sound is a little different this time too, more rock influenced, but with the old "Hank" and "cash" sound mixed in of course! The New album is going to be all cover songs, the sad ones I have been listening to for support, Im going to call it "Alone In The Covers". Then I am going to do one where I write all the songs. I havent played music for about a year and am pretty rusty. The cover cd will get me warmed up to do my own album real good...<
