It Wouldn't Break Your Heart
I'm a former Line 6 product specialist/clinician, with 100's of hours of recording/producer time...I have done 3 international tours, and several North American tours. I play everything from Bluegrass to Metal, mainly because ADHD kicks my butt....I like great pop songs, be it country, rock...whatever...a good song is a good song, period. I also like guitar driven music...go figure. PRS guitars and telecasters rule my world.
Why this name?
My name, and lack of a better name. Although, Captain It and the Wannabee's almost made it.
Do you play live?
I do play live, everywhere from Wilmington NC, to Myrtle Beach SC....and Wyoming, Colorado...the world and the rest of the Universe.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows more musicians access to record and get their music heard. The record labels, at some point, have gotta listen...or maybe not...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Oh Yeah.
Band History:
I started in Wilkes County, NC...my dad was a fairly popular singer/DJ/MC, who was also a co founder of Merlefest... so I grew up around it. It was nothing to see Buck Owens, Don Rich, Chet Atkins around the house...I don't think I had a choice in professions. I took lesons from my dad's steel/guitar/fiddle/banjo player, David Johnson, who is a tremdous musician, and top call NC studio cat...after being a backing player for so long, I decided to branch out and do my own thing, more as therapy really. I still love playing as a sideman(email me if you a guitar hero!)
Your influences?
wow...Don Rich, Brent Mason, Reggie Young, James Burton, Larry Carlton, Elliott Randall, Joey Brasler, Alex Lifeson, David Gilmour...the Beatles, The Eagles, just about everyone and everything I've ever heard...good music is good music, and musicians should be influenced by everything...even if it's how not to do something
Favorite spot?
Denver CO, Myrtle Beach SC, Guam

Paul Reed Smith CE24, Paul Reed Smith SoapbarII, Fender Telecaster, Line6 AX2, Line6 POD, Martin D 18, Boss CS 3 Compressor, Boss PS5 Pitch Shifter, Cakewalk 9.0 Producer Edition
