Influences
I have many...It feels like I have thousands. Cuz it's not just the band, musician's and artists that inspire me, but the actual music, songs and words.
Over the last 40 years I have as many musician influencers as I do months in my life. I would rotate a dozen times a year throughout my childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
Lately, I'm in a creative ideation phase; working on dozens of songs from several albums, spanning over 15 years.
I'm in that next stage of sharing this music with others, to start bringing people into my singer-songwriter world.

EQUIPMENT
I play the acoustic guitar. I love analog, it's a little more old school. My main sound is a Taylor GS7. It is my main instrument for rhythm. I love acoustic guitars with a Grand symphony body. I'm also learning piano at this time, which is expanding my ability and understanding of music theory.
Probably songwriting and then singing is my greatest strength, Rhythm and acoustic guitar are my second. I'm very comfortable creating any song in any genre, style or theme.
Hook me up if you're interested. I'm about 45 minutes Northwest of Madison.
