I'm a musician first and foremost. Guitar player, singer-songwriter, composer, performer, teacher, and eternal student of life and music. I live and work in Nashville and am thankful every day to be surrounded by driven, talented people that remind me over and over again to raise the bar another step higher.
I teach guitar, piano, and voice, coach singer-songwriters and aspiring young artists at my studio space on Nashville's Music Row, and offer performance workshops both here and on the road for organizations like NSAI, the Songwriters Guild, and Tennessee Songwriters Association. I'm currently writing regular columns for the Nashville Muse and Songwriters E-Tip online newsletters and am working on a book and DVD on rhythm in songwriting. My articles are collected on my blog, Life is hard, music is easy.
I play constantly around Nashville on my own as a soloist, as a freelance picker for hire, and as a trio with the peerless rhythm section of Brook Sutton and Rob Crawford. I have the pleasure and privilege of working with some of the best musicians and songwriters on the planet, many of whom are listed here on my top friends. Please visit them, listen to their music and go to their shows. Mine too, while you're at it.
You're right I've been working an awful lot, and haven't been able to get out as much as I'd like. We should do a show together soon to remedy that problem!!
