Artist description Well, It's just me. I've been writing for 12 years and finally decided to push my passion out to the world. Whether I am taken well doesn't worry me much. I don't write to please the masses. I write to use the talent God has given to me and to somehow dream of matching the longevity of great careers such as Bob Dylan or Billy Joel.

Music Style Acoustic thoughtful pop... Folk. Thought provoking rock stuff. Lyrically strong.

Musical Influences U2, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Dave Matthews, Freedy Johnson, Mike Peters, Dave Sharp, Billy Joel, The Choir, Counting Crows, The Beatles, I really could go on forever.

Similar Artists I hope that I do not sound like any of my influences while taking from all of them.

Artist History Traded in an old Ovation bass to buy my first acoustic guitar when I was 15. Learned to hack out a few chords and ran with it. Wrote the passions of my heart and sang melodies that sounded good to me. So now 13 years later I decide to go public.

Group Members Nio (Me) is the primary writer. I have players come in to ever change the nucleus of what is Nio Capo.

Instruments Martin Acoustic, Fender Strat, Ibanez 4 string, Hohner Harps, various Mandolins, Flutes, Didgeridoos, strings, beats, bongos, congas and the like.

Press Reviews My mom likes my music...I think. My wife thinks I rule (My number 1 fan...maybe my only fan). Oh yeah, my friend/producer Johnny says that I have a DM vibe. Go figure.
