I have a deep love for all kinds of music...I have many influences ranging from country to the heaviest of rock bands to the most laid back R&B.

I think it is very important to like all kinds of music in order to become a better musician.

My professional experience includes a tour with Dottie West (country legend), tour experience with Lorrie Morgan selling over 10 million records, a clinic tour with the ROCK band Cinderella. Studio work with legendary producer Bill Szymczyk (EAGLES), Multi Platinum Artist Tracy Lawrence, countless recordings...and has produced a LOT of artists and bands over the last 10 years. I also played on Dolly Parton's "Those were the Days" CD I played on the rock classic "Crimson and Clover" with Dolly and Tommy James!

I currently serve as one of the tour managers for Dolly Parton. I am also a freelance musician, songwriter and producer here in Nashville.

I recently played on some tracks that Toby Keith produced on his female background singer Mica you can check her out on here www.myspace.com/micaroberts she is an awesome singer and we wish her much success in 08. The first release is a duet with Toby the song is called "What Mama don't know" and we feel it's a smash.

My work history is pretty diverse and extensive. I am certain that having an open mind musically has helped me through the years. Try to become a "Musical Sponge" this will be invaluable to your future. I have had the great pleasure of doing everything from traveling in a van to touring in the most elite tour buses...selling millions of records...anything and everything in between.

Surround yourself with good hard working musicians who have the same goals that you do. Finally stay positive and always strive to achieve those goals you set for yourself and your band, anyone who isn't striving to meet those goals.

I wish the best to you all in 08!

Stay tuned for details and upcoming tour dates.
