Hey Yall! Smash that Follow button!! These genre bending songs have a "Gunpowder Country" sound livin in their own lane! Ignited by my rock and country roots; go find the songs that hit you deep in the soul and share it with the world!! Emotive performance style, blending elements from rock & country genres are all bootstrapped by stories of his life. 2019 I began my Illinois to Nashville journey from a little hometown bar show to Oceanway studios on Music Row in Nashville TN. My first radio hit “Stronger than Whiskey.” released in the summer of 2021, launching an awesome radio tour with live on-air performances across Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama followed up by 3 more songs on Nashville's Music Row Charts. "Used To Be Me" making it all the way to #46 as an independent artist in 2023. I've been blessed to have performed live opening for various country headlining acts, such as superstars David Nail, Uncle Kracker, Lakeview, Casey Donahue, Ward Davis, Craig Campbell, and Kolby Cooper while showcasing his edgier side, opening for rock n’ roll bands such as Hinder, Black Stone Cherry, Head East, Jackyl, and Lita Ford!
