Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started playing and writing at age 13 while living on an island in Alaska (military brat). Did the traditional high school rock band thing and later ended up as guitarist and vocalist for the USAF Band. After the USAF I performed as a solo artist for several years around the Gulf Beaches of Florida. I now reside in Nashville where I write, produce, pitch my material to the industry, and run Hobo Joe's Songwriters Cafe
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, at various writers clubs in the Nashville area, including my own. Nashville writers clubs are great places to interact with other writers and "test" out your material.
Your musical influences
Harlan Howard, Keith Whitley, Rivers Rutherford, Don Ellis, Hank Cochran............
