I have some new songs posted that I've played on: track 1 is by my good friend Matthew Perryman Jones... you may have heard this on "Private Practice" or "Kyle XY"; track 2 is by Sarah Kelly; track 3 is by an Indie artist named Brendan McCarthy, for a few older cuts: track 4 is MPJ again, track 5 is the incredible Garrison Starr & track 6 is my old friends Jars of Clay. Thanks to those artists for allowing me to showcase their music!
There are other great artists on myspace that I've had the opportunity to work with, but they only allow us 4 songs. Make sure you check out Kristen Hall, Andy Osenga, Jeremy Lister, Emily Deloach, Jon Troast, Josh Byrd, Tyler Burkum, Elizabeth Foster, Newton Dominey, Jonah Werner, Laurianne Cates, Bebo Norman, & JJ Heller too. Thanks for listening!
I moved to Nashville in 1992 from South Carolina where I studied music at USC. Since being in town I've had many great opportunities in the music industry, all of which I'm grateful for. I have enjoyed performing live at home and on tour. I love all the traveling I've gotten to do as well as the great people I've met. I have also had great opportunity in the studios recording great music and working with even greater artists. I do what I love and I love what I do... I'm blessed for sure.
I spent the last 5 years on the road with the incredible Little Big Town as their drummer and musical director and loved every minute of it. I never got tired of playing Boondocks - I love that song!
I am currently taking a break from the road and staying in town as much as possible and working here in Nashville. I am married to a wonderful woman who supports me on so many levels - I love you babe.

Hi Andy! I've been in the studio lately with Scot Q Merry (former part owner of County Q productions in Nashville)and I'm having a blast. Jesse is doing my drum tracking for me and I think he is now officially jealous of your life. LOL! My song "Forever or Never" is the one he just played on for me. It's a ruf cut, but you can get the idea if you want to go have a listen. :)

Hi Andy, Just got home from the Winston Salem show w/LBT. Can I say YOU WERE MISSED !! Missed you at the M&G missed your drummin'. I did watch this guy Lamar, dont get me wrong he did a fine job and was very focused, it was kinda funny ! Bless his heart he was tryin' so hard and did great, but YOU were missed......... Peace, Vicky
I wish you the best of luck in this new chapter of your career! Hopefully I'll see you sometime down the road...I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do without seeing my favorite drummer multiple times a year, but I know you're gonna keep rockin'. Keep us updated with everything that you're doing! And tell Jen that if she ever wants another homemade scarf, just say the word :)
Hey Andy ~ Thanks for adding me! You know I wish you and your family well. You will certainly be missed in LBT, so keep us posted on your "space" so we can see you somewhere down the road. Blessings ~ Jodi S
