About Me

I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist. My other bands were Friends of Sven, The Living Dark and Love, American Style. I play with Jay Gantz. He was the drummer for Divided By Hate.

I play shows and go to a lot of shows and record them with my Kodak Zi8 and put them on my youtube channel

Random Bragging…
I was offered to play the Lillith Fair twice and said “Hell no.”
The first time was because I thought I was too young and I didn’t think it was cool.
The second time, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw’s label wanted to buy my song “Love’s Address”, but they wanted me to play with a quartet.
Somehow that led to a multi-million deal with Stetson that fell through after/because of 9/11.
I started a band with Dan Hoener of Sunny Day after they broke up, but it didn’t last long . That is what my song “Diamond” is about.
I think I’m banned from Warp Tour.
John Mayer used to come to my shows in high school.
Kim Deal thinks that I smell like heaven.
