ABOUT
If you were to put Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Lightnin' Hopkins into an old butter churn, and if you churn them until the mixture is almost smoothe; when you poured it out, it would probably sound like me.
I am a solo, singer/songwriter/acoustic guitarist, with a Country Blues/Rockabilly style of music, and all my songs have Christian lyrics.
I love to play for Church Services,(Sunday night, Wednesday night, or any other time) All types of Church functions and events, Coffeehouses, House Concerts, Restaurants, Theaters, Festivals, Family Reunions, any and everywhere I can, for almost any type of event.

EQUIPMENT
Two Acoustic Guitars(A Breedlove and an Alvarez),
a homemade foot-stomping board, w/a mic inside, to pick up my feet tapping, a Shure Beta SM58 Vocal Mic w/stand, a Crate Acoustic Guitar Amp w/built in effects. (I only use the delay, for the slapback sound),
a Fender Passport 250 Plus, sound system, includes 2 speakers w/stands. I will be upgrading to a Fender Passport 500, when my instrument dealer gets them in, any day now.
