Born in Wilmington, this singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer attended the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas, majoring in music performance. He moved to New York and worked for EMI Music Publishing, while playing the indie rock scene with his band. He went solo in 2007. Now based in Buffalo, he started teaching music and work on his own material. Likened to Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Peter Gabriel, he debuted with “Unhand Me, You Fiend!” in 2009.
Written about the fact that music creates a hopeful brightness in an otherwise dark and difficult time, his new single injects some optimism in a pessimistic world. Taken from his upcoming album “Red Sky Warning”, expected in April 2025, the intimate song starts with a soft acoustic guitar and smoothly adds a warm percussion into the mix, creating a luxuriant soundscape. And with his soothing, mesmerizing vocals, this lush, heartfelt tune is filled with emotive sophistication.
