Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 10 I heard for the first time the Jimi Hendrix version of All Along the Watchtower. I had found a 45 copy in the basement of my house, I put it on and listened with head phones, it was like someone kicked open a door in my mind.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bob Dylan, Slow Train Coming Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Damn the Torpedoes These albums are the best representation of the music that has influenced me the most. They all have a perfect combination of lyrics and music and the themes in the songs are all themes that I use in my own writing.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Dark and Dirty World” This song is the culmination of all my study and analysis of the songs of my biggest influences. It's political like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen combined with straight rock and roll like Tom Petty. It takes you on an epic journey.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The biggest thing so far was the album release show for Dark and Dirty World. It was actually the first time I got to headline a show playing an electric guitar and an electric backing band, and it was the biggest indoor audience I ever played for.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? There are a lot of things left on my bucket list. The next thing on my list is to go on a tour with a backing band, instead of just on my own.
