Is It Me, Or It Dark In Here?
I'm a North Carolina musician currently living and recording in Louisiana.
What kind of music, you ask? Let's call it dark twang Appalachian rock music (with lots of excursions). Click some of the video play buttons here and there to get an idea. Because you may want this sort of music playing in your own home, notice the CDs of my music (from 2002, 2007, 2008, and 2010) around here — that's how that shopping cart button comes into play!
Unleashing the DevilMy new CD, Devil's Stomping Ground is now available. It featuring 12 tracks recorded over the course of 2009 — instrumental music for guitar, dulcimer, and gourdtar. I also threw in some harmonica, flute, cajon, and Other Things for seasoning. What's it sound like? It's Dark Twang. It's Appalachian Rock Music. It's... uh...er... well, check out the recording session videos on the cd page and see/hear for yourself. |
