Biography: I was raised in Northern Indiana and I believe that is a great contribution to my character and love of Country Music. My influences growing up were Hank Williams Jr., Hank Williams Sr., Waylon Jennings, David Allan Coe, Johnny Cash, and George Jones. Each of these artists have such different styles in music and songwriting. This difference helped me in my dynamics of putting a story into a song. I learned how to play guitar at age 17 and taught myself how to sing from my guitar. Being self taught really helped me create a unique style and format in playing, singing, and songwriting. Throughout my college years at Purdue University I continued to develop my songwriting and singing skills and knew that this is what I truly wanted to do for the rest of my life. Following college, I started playing out live as a solo artist since it was difficult finding bands in Indiana that wanted to do country music only. I trekked it across route 66 to Los Angeles where I began my promoting and marketing to find a band that had the same influences and passion in Country Music as I did. We currently play the major country clubs between Denver, CO and Southern California. Our drive and heart for what we play is our key to drawing our crowds and developing ourselves into a band that will continue to move forward.

About us:
We are a Country Music Band specializing in Traditional Country Music Sound with Original Songs.
