I do all my own stunts. Usually a solo acoustic performer with looping pedal. Vocals are soulful, and the music is a mix of folk rock and alternative country,

Solo Acoustic singer-songwriter from Atlanta, GA.
I cover everything that catches my attention from Classic Rock to Top 40, and Indie Rock to Obscure 80's tunes!
I perform with an Akai Headrush E2 looping pedal through which I run a Behringer Xenyx 502 mini mixer into the input, before outputting into the PA.
This allows me to beatbox, add percussion, and play lead all with only my acoustic guitar & minimum amount of effects pedals.
The result creates a much larger sound that encompasses the venue, giving me a more dynamic sound. The crowd really loves it (most of the time). Sometimes it's best just to scale it down with just me and my instrument.Band/artist history
Started playing open mics in 2007.
Play a first 45 minute show @ Smith's Olde Bar in 2008.
Continued writing, recording, and testing new songs for various audiences from 2009 to 2010.
In November 2010, was offered a full 4-hour gig @ Johnnie MacCracken's,
which led to multiple performances, and later headlining 2-night shows on Friday & Saturdays.
Started working with Grassroots Artists booking agency, and began touring East Coast.
Currently recording new music, and planning to get into studio for to record a new EP with full band!Have you performed in front of an audience?I've been solely performing for a living since November 2010; and I'm currently playing in various places throughout Georgia, and the farthest I've performed is Evansville, Indiana.
I love getting a chance to perform anywhere!
Your musical influences
I started out listening to Joe Cocker, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton & Cream records. in my parents basement. To this day I crave the whole 70's rock scene. Later on I started learning more of the history of rock & roll, which led me to blues greats such as Lead Belly, Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Slim Harpo, Muddy Waters, and BB King; and that inspired me to start singing regularly. Most of my first performances were Classic Rock & Blues covers! Today I listen to a wide selection of music from Country to Pop and I'm constantly challenging myself to broaden my musical style.What equipment do you use?
