I hate bios, there's plenty of fabricated, fornicated stuff out there if you wanna go root around for it.
I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina.
I worked in a goldsmith shop and an auction company growing up.
I came up at the feet of honest to God mountain people singing bluegrass music about dying and losing lovers. My dad told me stories about our family killing people, killing each other and the generalities that go along with a family of bootlegers, preachers and splintered women.
I didn't think it was fashionable to talk about those things and then one day the apostles of suburbia began making up songs about how cool it was, then took it to the people and sang it to 'em.
- I don't know about that.
These are my stories, I try to be as honest as a liar and a thief knows how to be, I hope you find some threads of truth in here.
I like rocks too, I root around in the banks and ditches, dumpsters and dirt every chance I can. Books are nice, I read 'em a lot.
I always wanted to be a magician, I guess it's a fine line between Houdini and a Hootenanny.
Prime numbers drive me crazy, taking apart stuff really gets me going, and a fresh dumpster in a hoity-toity part of town, well, forget it, I'm going diving.
That's me, enjoy
I really love your music! When is some new stuff coming out? I've listened to Rube so many times that the CD is almost see-through. I need more, more, more!!!
BTW, which "Bristol" is the song based on?? Any one in particular?
My new record just came out this week on I-Tunes and CD Baby. I have included a video talking about the record, hope you enjoy it! Please leave us some feedback to let us know what you think! Thanks for your support.

PS: This album would make a great stocking stuffer ;)
Hope to hear you play a bit on Thanksgiving weekend. Gotta attend a David Olney show a little later that same night. One of the things I just love about Nashville. Good music 24/7.
