Most people give up their dreams of being a professional singer and leave their #1 hits behind the shower curtain. Maybe I just missed that part. The only thing in this world that's better than writing a new song is being able to take that song on stage and let people hear it. Especially when you know its special to someone else for a different reason.
The spectrum for my influences is pretty vast. Even stretching into several different genres. Ask anyone that knows me, I'm a walking dictionary for music. My roots, however, are deep in older country music. From the 50's to the 90's. My sound falls somewhere between Waylon Jennings and Chris Ledoux with a small touch of modern in there. The part that really drives it home is the under lying truth in every song, every verse, and every word.
Best I can remember, the first time I ever picked up a guitar was back in 2007. I had a huge crush on a woman and I knew she would just fall in love with me if I could learn to play at least one romantic song and sing it to her. A few months after picking it up I had finally figured it out enough to play a song for her. (Jason Aldean- Don't give up on me).
The first time I ever preformed for a crowd was at FFA Camp. I played in a talent contest infront of about 200 people. About halfway through my nerves set in and I forgot the words to the song. Luckily, one of my friends in the audience had the chords and lyrics on a sheet and she was able to slide it over so I could see it. I've known since that performance, this is what I want to do with my life. So here we are. Be sure to check out my music if you haven't.
