Do you play live?

Yes, I have played live in Nashville, Kentucky, Michigan, Utah, Oregon, and mostly in Idaho in bars and clubs. I opened for Doug Stone once. I love to sing live and I've been told by my fans that I sing even better live which was great to hear.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It allows new artists like myself to promote their music and actually have a chance to have it previewed by many different people. It's very hard otherwise to have your music heard. To view my other sites, go to:

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Band History:

I am an electritian by trade and mainly sing on the side. My first CD "The Hardest Job", recorded in Nashville, was done in hurry up fashion after I discovered I had a talent. Still it sold around 3200 units to friends, relatives, and anyone from my work truck. My new release "The Cowboy Way" was also produced in Nashville with the help of Mark Dreyer and , of course, the Nashville writers I mentioned earlier. So far, the feedback has been great!

Your influences?

Some of my musical infuences include George Strait, Chris Ledoux, Joe Nichols and Garth Brooks. I love fiddle and steel guitar in these artists music. In my opinion, that is what real country music is all about!

Favorite spot?

I love Idaho. I was born and raised here and it's beautiful country! The people are friendly and if you like horseriding there are plenty of places to ride!

Equipment used:

Drums, steel guitar, fiddle, mandolin, piano/keyboard, bass
guitar was incorporated into my music.

Anything else...?

I hope your listeners enjoy my new CD!
