About

Back toward the tapes in the truck

I've been writing and recording songs since the late nineties. Back then it was loud, post-grunge alternative rock, the kind made by bands like Live, Stereophonics and Caroline's Spine.

Over the years the songs have drifted back toward where I started: the music my dad played on cassette in his truck when we traveled. These days that sounds like classic rock and americana, somewhere between Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, U2, The Alternate Routes and Stephen Wilson Jr.

I'm still learning how to do this, as a writer and as a player. I make these songs because they're close to my heart and because making them is a good time. If one of them ends up riding along with you for a while, that's the best thing I could hope for.
