ABOUT

I am a lead country vocalist and rhythm guitarist making the beginning attempts at starting my musical career. I have a friend, Tyler Jackson, the local 104.7 late night DJ, who is a good country drummer with the same musical tastes as me pretty much. We've jammed together a few times and clicked well. I've been performing country/western music with my dad in a group called the Sons of the Konza Prairie since i was 14. Last year we broke up because my dad moved to Texas. We recorded 3 albums and have sold close to 1000 since 2005 when they were released. Our uniqueness came from our classic western harmony and acoustic cowboy music. I want to start a band and play the local circuits and create the local fan base so that when we move on to Nashville we will have people back home to support us.
