ABOUT

Seeking fame and fortune, or at least to make good friends in the area. Been playing guitars for about 18 years, singing for about 12. Roughly 2 years' touring experience, many years' busking experience. Hopefully my influences will say enough about my style. I'd like to think that I'm pretty flexible around those genres.
