The Job: I play for a variety of singers and songwriters around Nashville, TN. I usually travel most of the year with different artists. When I'm home I'll stay busy doing recording sessions, showcases, and playing clubs in Nashville. Here are some of the artists I've played with at one time or another: |

Yes yes, I'm also a TV star. Well not really a "star"......ok so I was the guy on the side that nobody really paid attention to. Hey, I got paid so I'M happy! Here are some of the TV things I've done. CMA Awards (CBS/ABC 2004, 2006) CCMA Awards (GAC 2003,2004) Grand Ole Opry LIVE (CMT/GAC 2003,04,05,06,07,08) CMT's Most Wanted Live (CMT 2004) Wayne Brady Show (UPN 2004) CMT Crossroads w/Maroon 5 (CMT 2008) CBS Morning Show (CBS 2004) Martha Stewart Show (TLC 2006) Jeff Foxworthy Show (CMT 2006) CMA Music Festival (ABC 2006) The TODAY Show (NBC 2006) The View (ABC 2006) The Tonight Show w/Jay Leno (NBC 2006) Good Morning America (ABC 2007,2008)
I have also had the opportunity to play on several radio commercials. There is a company called Jingle Concepts based out of Texas that I do studio work for. Through wonders of the internet, they can track part of the music at their studio in Texas and I can record my guitar in Nashville. Technology is a wonderful thing. It's always fun to play different styles for them. One day it may be a modern pop/rock sounding thing, and the next it's a cajun style commercial. It nice to get to stretch out and play different music. They do a great job so that makes it easy for me. Thanks Kevin!

Things you didn't know: I worked in cable television for a few years before I came to Nashville. I installed and serviced Wireless Cable TV. We would mount a microwave antenna on top or beside a house. It was a line-of-sight type system so the antenna had to actually SEE our tower across town. This meant that sometimes the antenna was 50 to 70 feet high. It's hard to get someone to go for mounting a 50' antenna on their house! Needless to say, that company is no longer around. Favorite Movies: These always change but right now it's: Crash, Shawshank Redemption, Good Will Hunting, Anchorman Favorite Food: Mexican Favorite Drink: Sweet iced tea. For you people from the north....you have to sweeten it when you make it...BEFORE it gets cold (instant iced tea from a jar is NOT iced tea). You can't just add some sugar later. It's not the same!!!! What I'm listening to right now: Jackson Browne, Carol King, Tom Petty, Gabe Dixon Band, Marc Broussard, David Lee Roth (Eat Em & Smile/Skyscraper), Jamie Cullum.
