My band consists of ... me! I've been with me for some time now and have enjoyed being with me almost the entire time.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I hope that most, if not all my songs reflect that. I would like to think that I write "sermons in song". God has not blessed me with the ability to write praise and worship music, so I try to write songs that make you think. Or at least don't give you a headache. I play acoustic guitar and sing with a contemporary, easy-listening sound. I've only been writing my own songs for a couple years and enjoy it as a hobby. I never expect to break into "the biz" since I just enjoy doing what I do for its own sake. I welcome any feedback. Thanks for reading and listening!

Lyrics
There’s a girl in an armchair, a photograph is in her hand It’s an image of the child that she knows she’ll never have And the warped and tear-stained picture that she clutches Is a prison she can’t flee Her destiny Oh, her mama’s not around much, and her daddy’s far away So she turns to friends and counselors who have so much to say A child is a choice that’ll ruin your whole life, so let him go To the only Father he will ever know There’s a single mother working, trying hard to make ends meet Now she finds that she’s with child with three more at home to feed She tells no one her decision to give her girl up and let her go To the only Father she will ever know As I fall into despair Jesus gently reminds me Not a single soul is lost to a cold eternity All the voiceless will sing praises that no angel can outshine And the name for all the nameless will simply be, “You are mine.” With each light that is snuffed out the children’s choir slowly grows And each one awakens in the loving arms Of the only Father they will ever know And they’ll sing Father, Father Savior, Lord and King Hosanna, Hosanna You are Father most to me Worthy of honor, worthy of praise Defeater of death through the Son that was raised Holy, holy, holy is the Lord You are worshiped and adored To the only Father they will ever know To the only Father they will ever know
