Bio
Started playing banjo at the end of college in an effort to learn the E minor lick in the hillbilly chase music from 'Bonnie and Clyde' (Foggy Mountain Breakdown/Earl Scruggs) and it just went from there. Since then I picked up some guitar, mandolin, and dulcimer. On occasion I mess with a bit of electronica, mostly trance stuff. I also make/play cigar box guitars and other such instruments garage-born instruments. I play 4 string guitars as I never have really figured out what to do with 6. I listen to (or have listened to) nearly all genres of music excepting modern soul-less radio pop and new trash country. All in all music/art/creating are huge to me though life doesn't always seem to give me the time... .... CLICK COVER TO BUY ALBUMS! .......... Hogtie The Devil ..........

Sounds Like
cowpunk-ass blues with more soul than Rick James and Stevie Wonder in a hot tub with enough diesel to hit you harder than Ike Turner which is not terribly dissimilar from the sound dogshit makes upon striking the pavement after being hurled from the Sears Tower...kind of
