Bio
For years I toured and released albums with the rock band Knee Deep Shag. We played thousands of gigs all over the Midwest, the East Coast and won a handful of Detroit Music Awards. In late 2004 the band decided to stop performing live, which freed me up to do some touring and guitar playing for my old friend Rachael Yamagata. With Rachael I toured Europe as well as the States including extended tours with Ryan Adams and Ray LaMontagne, and also played some noteworthy festivals such as Glastonbury and Austin City Limits. Since then I have devoted most of my time to folk super-group the Corn Fed Girls. Our brilliant album "Cornstar" is out now on Hey Burner! Records. .. .. In 2008 I released a solo disc of my own songs entitled "Between the Carolinas". It was co-produced by Jeff Moehle (Knee Deep Shag, Butterfat Trio) and mixed by Martin Klemm. Jeff played Drums and Bass on more than half the songs and there are appearances by Mike Fuerst and Ira Cohen of the Corn Fed Girls as well. Between the Carolinas is out now on Hey Burner! Records... .. Most Recently, "Goodbye is not the End" was featured on the season finale of MTV's Real World: Cancun. I have also been writing the follow-up to "Between the Carolinas" as well as recording the next Corn Fed Girls album... .. Cheers .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
