Artist History Folk music, the type found on Dylan's "John Wesley Harding" and "Blood on the Tracks" was my first musical love. I learned to play listening and studying the simple beauty and mystery found on those recordings. As I earned my degree in English, I began to find my own lyrical voice. Taking the lessons of my professors to heart more on my songwriting than on the poetry and short stories they were recieving. Shortly after college, I found out there was a lot more going on musically than just in the alt-country scene where I had pigeonholed myself for so long. Not disregarding the folk background, I still only play guitar and harmonica, and with new musical ideas to play off of and a strong sense of songwriting, the brooding acoustic music I now play, I can say is definitely in my own strange voice.
