Artist description
I am a songwriter more than anything else. I enjoy playing the guitar and singing, but the real passion for me is in the songwriting. In that sense I guess I fall in line with the singer-songwriter tradition. My biggest musical influences by far are John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, and Guy Clark. I don't think I particularly sound like these guys, but I have tried to put the same level of effort into the songwriting as these guys do (or did). |

Artist History
I will spare you the third-person biography here. I am actually writing this myself so it might as well be in the first person. I got into music late in life by most standards. I was never in the band as a child so I didn't have a musical foundation to build on (a mistake that I regret now). I didn't start playing guitar until my wife bought me one as a wedding gift. I had always talked about playing and had actually started writing lyrics but did not play any instruments. That guitar was one of the greatest gifts that I ever received. I started writing songs as soon as I could string together chords. I did have a lot of encouragement from two of my uncles who played music all their lives. Their father (my grandfather) played bluegrass music and could pick up any instrument and play. So, after getting that first guitar I dove in and started playing and have not looked back. I have a whole stack of songs and more floating around up there in my head. |
