Well Im a 39 year old factory worker father of 4 grown,grandfather of two,one on the way. I am a self taught songwriter from "Low Line" this is my name for the bottom portion of the u.s..Ive lived from Virginia to Baja Mexico and although I didn't live in every state,most just passed through. But the feeling was always the same; beaten down and tired, a past and present melded by hate, yet love was easy to find. I am a bluesman. Son House and Louisiana living made me this way. Anyhow I am a progressive home recorder enthusiast since I was 12. I mostly write and compose full demos noone hears. I don't consider myself an amazing vocalist..but some do. I really can't describe it. Imagine old bluesman with Maynard James tool style (holds and all) with Axl rose (young not so nasally either)and I can scream with some of the best, with technique, not force. I play alot of altered tunings, and use drum machines and homemade sounds to create atmospheric and ethereal songs. I want you to feel something, i want to make you question yourself, I want you to think. I am open to bands, but kinda just wanting to put some music out there.

It's ok to run
It's ok to run Year: 2019 Album: Rough Cut Genre: Metal
It's ok to want to run from the past, the sad truth is you can't. But you can flee from reminders of the pain, ignore it with cold will; deny acknowledgement to the pain's existence. The past comes back,it always does.
