ABOUT

Wow this is hard to write haha. I've read a lot of these but somehow want mine to stand out to that one person. Haven't met you yet. But honestly I need you.

I've been playing music for 26 years. And I'm not lying when I say tonight I had this feeling. I was listening to Ben Rector and it just hit me. I need to play. I need to write. I know there is something inside me that needs to come out. And I'm 100% certain it is music.

I have a studio in my backyard that is PERFECT for jamming. I have some recording gear, and nowadays I think I have most everything I need. Here is what I want.

I want to write an incredible 8 song album. And then I want to play one show where every person is singing those 8 songs at the top of their lungs. And for that hour of their lives... they are happy.

I have 80 ideas for those 8 songs. I probably need 80 more to get them right. And that is why I need you.

I want to jam once a week for a year. Work on those songs. And then, once they are great... I have a wild idea. But that's not for everyone. Just you!
