Artist description 6'1 170pds trim - inshape - Like to wear alot of black (Johnny Cash is still cool)I consider myself a romantic outlaw- the good guy and the bad guy in one. I am very versitile. I have the experience to back that up. Alot of artists would say they are versitile- but I am the genuine article. I am open minded in my playing/ performing - can take my music in many different directions. I like all types of music and have become versitile over the years to improve my chances at getting signed. I am an artist with an arsenal of weapons - vocals, guitar (lead guitar -bad to the bone), piano, drums, sax, songwriting, producing, tons of performing. I would see myself as a calm Garth Brooks on stage with the musical integrity of a group like Journey. I don't schtick on stage coz I want the music to speak for itself. I like being slick, cool, in control, and likeable.

Artist History Started playing piano at age 4. Has a minor in music.(Was a music major but didnt want to teach in schools - wanted to be a stage musician) Started playing in bands at 16 as a drummer. Joined his first of many housebands at 23 and since then has opened up for 40 -50 major recording artists, mainly in the pop-country scene. Examples: Mark Wills, Trace Adkins, Marty Stuart, The Mavericks, Lonestar, Chris Ledeuox, etc. Spent 3 total years on the road with touring bands over a 5 year period between 1995 - 2000. Has earned a living as a full time musician during most of the ninties til present. CC has also worked with world reknown studio guitarist Bucky Barrett. Bucky shopped CC for 6-7 years in Nashville for a recording deal. Major sponsorship was most likely the one element keeping CC from a big time contract. CC still hopes to get that major recording deal - that's why he's here. So all you labels out there... Jump now! He's more than ready. CC currently plays in a weekend group called the "Party Boys" This group showcases him as a lead guitar player with several talented area musicians in the group.(he's trying to get them to record too!)CC has found a new love in producing new material in his home studio.

Instruments Guitars, keys, drums, sax - of course VOCALS!

Albums Goodtime - a Nashville demo project that was shopped but not signed. "For This Burden" -CC's own rock project "My Turn" CC's new country album in the works
