East Texas singer-songwriter from Cleveland with an unapologetically traditional Texas country sound and a reputation as one of the most authentic voices on the circuit - an elegantly tarnished tenor, intricate finger-picked guitar, and lyrics that move between raw honesty and poetic abstraction. He served four years in the U.S. Air Force as a fighter aircraft mechanic and now works as a horseshoe farrier while riding saddle bronc on the amateur Texas rodeo circuit.
