Since the age of thirteen, my whole life has been filtered through the experience of playing the guitar. It has been my primary and most-consistent motivator. Making a connection with it everyday is as basic and essential as brushing my teeth. That journey of connection through the guitar has taken me to many places and through many forms and styles. Centered around the physical connection with the instrument and a desire to connect with people, travel, and communicate, I have been lead to music that is centered around acoustic playing and community. Old-school swing, jazz, country, bluegrass, and Appalachian old-time are the styles that provide the creative backbone of my music.
