I currently perform as a solo artist and singer/songwriter. All of my recordings were recorded, mixed, and produced from start to finish in my home studio. My original songs are somewhat eclectic but I would generally categorize them as a fusion of rock, blues, folk/country, funk, and jazz.Band/artist history

Modern-day en-slavers are working hard to own your mind, your body, and your soul. If you haven't already, please wake the hell up! Question everything and get informed. Then EDUCATE OTHERS about the insidious threat to humanity by banksters, corporations, deep state entities, and filthy rich power mongers pulling their puppet strings! Listen folks, we're never going to vote our way outta this broken and corrupt system. And the entrenched political class that broke the system certainly can't be relied upon to fix it. Only WE the people have the power to change it all - but only IF we band together (united we stand) before it's too late (divided we fall). Hopefully, maybe... it isn't already too late. Okay, rant over.READ MORE
