Band History:
Guitar wasn't anything I actually thought I would ever pick up. I admired it...but only from a distance. Then there was a class in highschool for basic beginner guitar...I learned 10 chords, one scale, and my interest was solidified.

My singing ability found a welcome partner...it was a good thing all around!
Your influences?
I love everything. Right now my car radio switches between classical, 50's rock, rap and 80s. I appreciate music that is time tested.
Favorite spot?
Wherever my wife and baby boy are.
Equipment used:
Guitar, Microphone, my mouth, fingers, sometimes a pick
Anything else...?
I'm a fun loving guy you should support!
