Bio

I live in Austin, I've been into Little Walter lately, and I practice the banjo in fits and starts. I write music for a living but I haven't made a record in years, so I'm totally stoked to be here.

Update 2.16.12 Here at the halfway point I have discovered that I essentially have two speeds as a songwriter: 1936 and 1966. Perhaps I will break out of that over the next seven songs, perhaps I will simply wear that trench a little deeper.

Congrats on the FAWM win this year! I have to say that your production and mixing are outstanding down your entire list. Great work man.

Break out, why? My favorite album is from 1966 (Revolver)

You are most decidedly welcome! You were added to my watchlist as soon as I heard your songs. And I see there's still a few more for me to listen to...

I've done FAWM for 6 years now, and though this looks to be the first time I won't "win," it's the community and encouraging feedback that make this place special. The arbitrary challenge certainly helps me write a bunch of songs, but it's the immediate and kind feedback that keeps me motivated. Nice to know someone is actually listening.

So I love listening to the jukebox while I'm at work and being able to hear some great songs and let the writers know I heard them. And I particularly enjoy finding great writers like you to add to my watchlist.

I don't get to call music my job anymore, but if I ever make it back out to Kerrville, perhaps our paths will cross. Thanks for the kindness, and thanks for the great songs!

We're totally stoked to have you here, too! Banjo tunes is fine fine fine stuff.
