About

songwriter from out of the midwest trying to make a ripple I have been writing songs since I was 17 and I have had the good fortune to be able to have an audience, to listen since about as long. I have played in coffee houses, bars, birthday parties, weddings, divorces, and had some great opportunities like opening up for the great crusades out of chicago for 3 weeks in germany, austria, and sweden. I had a band at one time called the flatwheel band that opened up for david allen coe, the marshall tucker band, Br549, and supe grande from the ozark mountain daredevils. I am still writing songs and playing acoustic at local bars and taverns trying to find the inspiration to write a better song, I just hope that someone some day will feel about one of my songs the way I feel about alot of my heroes songs.
