Folk Rock

i'm a solo singer-songwriter with a wide range of influences in guitar-centric genres.
Band/artist history
well it's just me and it's been like that for a few years now. i started out sequencing midi before i could even play the guitar. once i learned the guitar i threw out most of my songs (which sucked anyway, it takes everybody a few songs to write something decent). i've been slowly amassing recording gear and i've got a pretty decent living-room studio now.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
i play live often for worship events, but i haven't played my own music live in quite some time. i'm focusing now on writing and practicing more than recording.
Your musical influences
jars of clay, caedmon's call, foo fighters, collective soul, dave matthews band, bebo norman, the normals, ryan adams, norah jones (yeah, seriously), audioslave, soundgarden, pearl jam, iron and wine, nickel creek, derek webb
What equipment do you use?
guitars: taylor 814ce (as of yet unrecorded) taylor 214ce taylor 110 epiphone les paul standard mics: MXL SP1 MXL 603s Shure SM57 preamps: presonus tubepre audio interface: focusrite saffire LE audio workstation: cakewalk sonar X1 production suite
Anything else?
i don't believe in labeling music "christian", or that such a label makes music "better" or "safer" than other music. i believe the value of the music comes from the integrity of the artist to their art.
