I've been playing guitar and singing for most of my life. The songs that I write draw from life experience, which makes each of them very special to me since they bring back memories of powerful events and feelings.

I often call upon a couple of my buds to help add to my originals. You'll hear Billy on the second guitar and Steve on drums/percussion throughout the originals on this page.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you enjoy my music.
Why this name?
It's got a nice ring to it, right?
Do you play live?
I'm currently jamming with buds whenever I get the chance and performing at occassional parties.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It provides a medium for "part-time" musicians to share their art, solicite feedback and, hopefully, touch someone with their music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Make me an offer!
Your influences?
Too many to name. My parents exposed me to artists such as James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin, The Eagles, The Doobie Brothers and Jim Croce growing up and it's music that I still appreciate today.

Some artists that come to mind as influences also include Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Tracy Chapman, The Cure, Elliott Smith, The Shins, Trapt, Zero 7 and Snow Patrol.
Favorite spot?
Our yearly trip to Snowbird, Utah. Snowboarding all day and then jamming at night with friends back at the lodge.
Equipment used:
I've picked up several guitars over the years that I just can't seem to part with, but my acoustic/electric setup is a Takamine TAN15C, a Fender Acoustasonic Junior DSP and a Shure SM58.
