Hello family, fans and Facebook friends, I hope your summer is shining brightly on you all.
I'm excited to tell you about my newest music project that I just launched with Kickstarter. With two records behind me and many years living, playing cover/original music on the road and at home, I'm finally ready to record my first SOLO CD. For the last two years I've been putting my heart and soul into writing my original music and now have so much material that I need to make a record.
