SEEKING

ABOUT

Seasoned guitarist/songwriter with a taste for perfection whose greatest love is country music. I despise pop country, bro country, and hick hop. After playing with Six Gun for almost 20 years (the band retired in November 2019), I formed the Forge River Band that plays 90’s country, southern rock, country rock, outlaw country, Irish, and originals. Always looking for liked minded musicians/vocalists to play music with and write songs with. I want to bring country back!!
