Best known for his folksy, fun, down-home storytelling, this singer/songwriter's lyrics serve up a warm slice of Americana with a side of joy and occasional heartbreak all the while making the journey from the beach to the barn seem not so distant.

​

His love of performing country music was born when at just 7 years of age he made his first appearance at a small, PA coal region corner bar and later performed Johnny Cash's "Folsum Prison Blues" on stage at a

3rd grade Elementary School assembly.

(times were obviously much different in the 60s)

 

From concert openers for Nashville royalty,

Tammy Wynette, Porter Wagoner, Lorrie Morgan and

The Marshall Tucker Band, to penning lyrics on napkins and coasters at the beaches and bars of the Florida Keys, (most notably "Four Bars on My Cell Phone) a long strange trip leads full circle back to

his country home.

​

"I've got four bars on my cell phone and I'm drinking' at every one. I won't even remember your name, before this night is done."
