As long as I can remember I've loved music. My earliest memories include hearing an endless stream of classical music from Mom's piano students, and being drawn to TV and movie themes and incidental music.

Seeing "A Hard Day's Night" as a child, and later meeting Mance Lipscomb, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Jimmy Reed were key inspirations, and influences.

I studied the guitar with Paul Buskirk (Willie Nelson) and Chris Florey (Benny Goodman), but am mostly self-taught.

I've been writing songs since I learned my first chord, fronted my own bands and worked extensively in the United States and Europe with Alejandro Escovedo, Jimmy LaFave, Jack Saunders, Jim Lauderdale, Greg Trooper, and Bruce Robison.

I have opened shows for Mance Lipscomb, Buddy Miller, Bo Diddley, Lucinda Williams, Son Volt, Waylon Jennings, Billy Bragg, Robert Cray, and Ben Harper among others.

My discography includes: "Texas Harmonica Rumble" with Lewis Cowdrey, "Gravity" by Alejandro Escovedo, "Buffalo Return to the Plains" by Jimmy LaFave, "Blue Shadows" by Jack Saunders and the Dead End Angels CD "November".

My solo CD will be released in Spring 2007.
