I’m a musician based out of Charlottesville, Virginia, but very proud to be from Grundy, Virginia, a small town in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. I spent many hours as a kid playing in the woods behind my house by day and jamming out to the jukebox in my grandparent’s living room by night. I don’t think it’s any secret to those that know me that my hometown molded me into who I am today, and a touch of that place will always be woven into the music I write. I’ve lived in Charlottesville for six years and in that period of time I’ve played over a hundred gigs from staples on the Corner such as Coupe Deville’s and Crozet Pizza to venues on the downtown mall. My debut EP Bardo is set to be released on January 9th, 2018. The term bardo is a Buddhist term that means the intermediate state between two lives on earth. The bardo can be pleasant or treacherous, depending on one’s perspective. I view the transition from youth to adulthood as being a transitional period similar to the bardo, and view the songs on this EP as telling the story of my own experience in this intermediate state. I hope you’ll give Bardo a listen in January. See you on the road! I'm a singer-songwriter based out of Charlottesville, Virginia. I'm proud to be from Grundy, Virginia, a small town in the heart of Appalachia that influences my music.
