Artist description Right now its just me. On some of these tracks I am with my old band The Peasants: Mike and Dave respectively. On the rest (so far) I am accompanied live by a guy named Halec from Montana on the fiddle. This guy is amazing. I gave him a 1 min verbal rundown of the songs and then you have the tracks on this page!

Music Style I'm severely lacking in the style department

Musical Influences My Mother, church music, the 80s, The Beatles, early radio,SassyStarX, Grateful Dead, Elvis Costello, Brett Warren, Ian Anderson, Syd Barrett, The Band, french impressionism

Similar Artists Everyone always says, "you know who you sound like? You sound just like..." and each person gives you something different.

Artist History Let's see. I started writing and playing at 13. All my old stuff is terrible. I was in a couple of bands in high school that never got beyond making recordings in the living room or bedroom. 2 friends from these days are Mike and Dave. They were in The Peasants with me, along with Brad and Todd later. A few songs on this page are from that era. In college I was in a couple of more hippy jam type bands. I can play that type of music, but it just doesn't fit my writing style. Next was the period of a gig every blue moon at a coffee shop, and a whole lot of just playing at the house. Now: Still playing at the house. Work takes up more time though.
