As a young boy from a family of coal miners in West Virgina I was bit by a ratttle snake on Sarcus mountain. The first name Sarcus(from the mountain I survived) & Blackwater (from the coal that was washed from the mines). This name represents hard work, survivers, and determination for life.

Yes. Mostly, local fairs, universities, businesses, clubs, resturants, resorts, and parties. I love to play for people who can honestly appreciate what we do. The most special moment playing was for my financee's local music store bash where we offered free advertising on the radio, trading journal publication, and flyers that brought in people from everywhere who danced and loved to hear us.

I feel that in some ways it helps to promote musicians. It is also hurts the musicans in the manner of respect and lack of credit for their versitily. As a young boy, I bought the artist's entire album to get the one song I wanted or heard. However; I learned to truly appreciate the artist's versitily and style by listening to the rest of the songs on the album. This would not have happened if I would have been able to just "download" the one song I wanted.

Yes,as a writer or performer with conditions agreed upon by both parties at the time of offer.

I am inspired by many artists and all flavors of music. My original music is a combination of it all...bits & pieces fom here and there. Some of my favorites are Journey, AC/DC, George Strait, Bad Company, Jim Croche, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, Styx, Bee Gees, Steve Miller, Lynard Skynard, Vanzant, and Johnny Lang.

Right here in the beautiful mountains of WV.
