ABOUT

Currently I play solo, signing and playing acoustic guitar. When you do that everything sounds a folky, however if you listen to the songs I have posted from my CD, you get a better idea of what I'm going for. I am seeking other musicians to form a band in the Americana genre. What shape that takes depends on who I can find and what we can play.

I would be open to playing in a duo, either with a man (ala the Milk Carton Kids) or with a woman (ala the Civil Wars, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.) I would been open to playing with a three piece band, going up to five members, but I wouldn't larger than that.
