OurStage

By the age of 14, I taught myself to play the guitar and by the age of 16, I was writing songs. I grew up listening to Johnny Cash, Johnny Paycheck, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Hank Williams, Jr. & Waylon Jennings. All these artists seem to dig deep and write about triumphs in their lives and weren't afraid to write about the turmoil either. Over the years I have played in numerous bars and at festivals in and around South Carolina. At The Bowery in Myrtle Beach, SC, I was a special guest for a week. I performed with the Bud Moffet Band at Rascals, in Augusta, GA while opening for Tracy Lawrence. At Tumbleweeds in Anderson, SC, I sang on stage with David Allan Coe. I was asked to perform my signature song, "The Saluda County Tractor Pull" at the pull. During the pull, Kentucky Filmmakers were following the American Puller Association Circuit, completing a documentary in the making. I continuously write songs based on the life experiences of myself, family and friends. What makes my band unique? The band consists of myself and my drummer, Cyndi. Although we are a two person band, we perform! We have yet to play a bar or event and not pack the house. In October, 2006, I returned home from a tour in Iraq and it feels really good to get back to performing. I also received a new perspective while I was gone. Life is what you make it and don't waste a minute! I love to entertain and share my life through music. It's in my blood!
