...a little mix of everything you'd hear in a 12 hour day on the tractor.....
I'm a farmer (yes, it's true) turned singer/songwriter originally from Gruver, Texas.......now spending most of my time in Nashville. I raised wheat and corn on the family farm with my dad for 15 years before parking the plow a few years back. When I'm not writing I'm either bass fishing on Old Hickory Lake or "harvesting" whitetail deer and pheasants back in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles and Kansas. I've had songs cut by George Strait, Faith Hill, Big and Rich, Bon Jovi, Gary Allan, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Bucky Covington, Neil McCoy, Phil Vassar, Buddy Jewell, Crossin' Dixon, Trent Willmon, ect..... I wrote for Extreme Writers Group (Michael Martin & Jason Houser) for 7 years and currently write for "the Craig Wiseman" at Big Loud Shirt.
