Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

I was once at a greyhound station playing sitting on a floor when two guys walked up and started freestyling while I played. It was pretty cool. I've played quite a bit of guitars in psych wards and rehabs(back in my drinking/drugging days) and I have experienced all sorts of craziness in that world.

Last one. I taught myself how to sing & play simultaneously while living in a car. When I would get done with work I would drive out to a public forest, where I often slept, smoke a lot of pot and spend hours & hours teaching myself to play covers and how to write my own stuff.

Embarrassing Moment

Haha. I've bombed on stage a fair number of times. Sometimes my voice has cracked. One time my guitar completely fell out of tune so badly that I had to just stop the song and retune the guitar.

My Instrument

I didn't name any of my guitars. I've had a lot of them. I believe I sold my first electric guitar to a neighbor in West Virginia for like $20. He still lives there next door to my grandparents.

I had one guitar - the one that I played when I lived in my car and taught myself to write/sing with. When my life was starting to fall apart about 5 years ago I knew that I was about to be getting sent away and gave it to a friend. Told him to sell it or give it to a local band for them to perform with or whatever. Years later I was hanging with another friend and that guitar had somehow passed through a bunch of hands back to me. Pretty crazy. I think I ended up giving it away again.
