  • Beautiful and Wild was recorded in two quick weeks at Marco Giovino’s Dagotown Recorder’s. Marco pretty much lined up the group of players, (w/ a little input from myself)  and gave each song a lot of Pre- production in his head.  We’d get together, say hello, hit the record button, and usually get the takes we wanted by the second run through. Like I always say,...
  • Maybe it's that my old man is getting up there, and as he's done so we've gotten very close. Maybe it's my middle aged self poking a stick of curiosity at the prospect of being very old.

I got so lucky to work with these folks: Stacie Huckeba lives near me in East Nashville, she’s a photographer and...
  • Welcome to my new website designed with supreme talent by my buddy Erle Mulligan. I’ve been living solely off the land of ReverbNation and Facebook for too long , and it’s great to have a piece of real estate to call my own again. Life is looking up as I own my domain name and also my own little casa in East Nashville. I have called East Nashville my home now for 11 years, I’m proud to be part of...
