About

I enjoy sports (especially college football), concerts, cycling, my home, family & friends.  A lot of people say, “Don’t you like to travel?”  I like an occasional short trip to take in a concert or a football game, but I truly enjoy being at my home.  My most impactful/emotional experience (aside from the birth of my 2 sons) was hearing session musicians play songs I wrote (5) at a recording studio in Henders

On The Web

I’m currently not on any other social media websites.

Instruments & Skills

My main instrument is the keyboard. Because I grew up in a very small, "Mayberry-like" town, I attended a school that encompassed grades 1 - 12, all on the same campus and I was in the high school band (played French horn) in the 3rd grade. When I was in the 10th grade, I formed a band out of members of our high school band. We basically modeled our sound after The Tijuana Brass, made up of 2-trumpets, a baritone, a trombone, and my brother on percussion, as well as me on a Hammond organ. I became addicted to the arranging process, although the varying key signatures of these different instruments posed a major hurdle, initially.

Influences

Jason Isbell, Billy Joel, Vince Gill, Lady Antebellum, Jeffrey Steele, Ben Hayslip

Jack Speer gave feedback on Audition

More than everything else, the little thing that hangs with me (earworm) after hearing the song 3 times is that pickup (four, 1/16th notes) to the 8th beat in the intro and sometimes in the verses.  It’s like a tease, bc my ear listens for this riff at every ... Read More

Jack Speer gave feedback on REVISIT ALL OF THIS

Thank you, Evan Bingham! Funny you mention Blake, as I had thought of him, too.  But, I don’t know the ropes in terms of making that connection.  I look forward to reviewing your songs and I will certainly comment when I do. Again, many thanks!!!

Jack Speer gave feedback on YOU STANDING THERE

I agree with you, Frank, in terms of Matt Dame.  BTW, I listened to What I know Now and I agree with you.  I might send this to Matt Dame, to see if he might do the vocals on this song.  I’m going to jump over... Read More
