Overview

I'm a singer/songwriter out of Mid-Missouri performing a mix of country (Hank, Charlie, Johnny) and light rock cover songs (Tom Petty, The Band, Stones, Chuck Berry). I often play some of my own songs that are in the same genres with interesting back stories. I've been playing the St. Louis, St. Charles, Columbia and Lake Ozark area for many years either solo, or in bands of 3-4 other players. I've recorded a catalog of songs with several producers in Nashville TN and Fayette, Mo. My tunes can be heard on Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp and Amazon. The mixing of country and rock, both newer songs and oldies offers everyone something they like to listen to.
