I was born and raised in and around Cincinnati, Ohio, but came of age in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Roanoke, Virginia. Right now, I'm not entirely sure where I am or where I'm going.
I've been playing guitar and singing with my friends in The Wading Girl for the past 5 years. We've traveled all over the country and had a lot of great adventures. Best time of my life, really. This new project is hopefully continuing in that same spirit. I'm going to be on the road an awful lot, so come on out and say hi.
Hey! "The Road Spit Me Out" is available on iTunes!
