I'm a songwriter/musician out of Middleton. I've been writing and playing for a couple of decades and have 3 CD's out. I've had a fair degree of success with international airplay, mainly on Americana stations in Europe and Australia. I have a fairly high end, well equipped pro studio and enjoy recording and engineering.

I'm primarily looking for an accomlished lead guitar player that can do back up vocals. I'm also interested in a fiddle and steel player. For now, I'd like to hunker down with someone to work on a duo with the possibility of a beefing up to a 4/5 pc band.

I enjoy doing back up myself and don't need to be the "front man" all the time. I play quite a bit of mandolin, some fiddle and sing harmony. My wife is also excellent at backing vocals.

I'm looking to explore new directions in Americana styles...hard country, bluegrass and roots. I also do quite a bit of Gospel stuff...I'm looking for folks who don't mind mixing it up with something spiritual and not so uptite that we can't kick a little ass at the same time.

Please take a look at my website for more info, studio pics and samples of my music.
