It all begins with a family who almost constantly moved from town to town, or state to state, until we landed in northeastern Kansas. I was about 11 years old when the divorce was finalized. Which is where it all started, musically, for me. I picked up the guitar, begged my older brother to teach me, started learning songs that moved me...to eventually...writing my own originals. It was my freedom, my emotion, my therapy. I have probably written over a hundred songs, only to let a select few see the stage. I find that I write my songs a bit different than most. I usually come up with a riff first...playing it until its smooth...then spouting off with the first thing that comes to mind...then build off of that. sounds funny when I put it on paper and read it, but still makes sense at the same time. from bluesy riffs to grunged out sloppy riffs....these are the sounds that move me.
Working hard on putting together a small "mini-tour" of sorts. I am trying to hit Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas for my first go. From May 31st to June 10th.
