I am influenced by just about everyone! I really get into creative song writers and instrumental musicians. Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Adam Carroll, Joe Baxter, Bob Childers are some of the most amazing song writers I've ever heard. Bluegrass harbors, in my opinion, some of the worlds finest musicians. Tony Rice, Bryan Sutton, David Grisman just to name a few. I can't leave out Flatland Grassband, although short-lived the amount of talent held within four guys was out of this world!
In a nutshell, I love music. I love writing it, playing it, listening to it and anything else associated!
