Vocals, Guitar
I was born in the South and I live in the North. Somewhere in between, I fell in love with sounds and words and now I put them together to make songs to sing and play. Seems pretty simple to me. This band I got helps me bring some of my imagination to life. So here we are: driving around the country, playing for fans and detractors, strangers and friends, brawlers and bawlers. It's an interesting life. I'm staying tuned.
