ABOUT
I write and record my own music under the moniker Rumors of War, and just put out a record titled "1", in May, on all the streaming platforms; several songs are available for listening here. I recently signed a distribution deal with Bentley Records and am working on getting the next one's artwork and such ready. I have another record ready to mix and master, and as always, am in the recording studio working on a new batch of songs. Stylistically it jumps around a bit, from fuzzed out hard rock to piano pop, country rock to roots-based Americana. I enjoy writing music in several genres. I'm interested in forming a duo with another multi-instrumentalist, and know 40 or so cover tunes, and I have at least that many originals as well. I'm not interested in playing bars. I did a fair amount of touring in the late '90s/mid '00s.

Influences
My favorite decade of music would be 1967 - 1976. That includes most genres from the time period. I enjoy '90s era music as well; that's when I graduated from high school.
