ABOUT

I want to make music that is irresistible, unmistakable, and remarkable. I want to cross genre lines and add depth to my indie rock sensibility. I want songwriting to come to the forefront and ego take a back seat. Throughout the last 10 years I have played in punk, ska, surf, indie rock, acoustic, blues, and bluegrass bands and it turns out, I want it all.
