Growing up in small town Indiana, he cut class to find adventures on the backroads, bounced around in North Carolina for a couple of years, then landed in Madison WI, where he found many great musical collaborators in various bands playing locally and regionally at coffeeshops, barrooms, taverns and outdoor festivals.
The Dirty Shirts’ albumTwo-Dollar Turpentineis a Madison honky-tonk classic of his original songs and was selected as one of the best albums of the year byIsthmusin 2010.
His latest album,Just a Kidwas entirely self-recorded in a beautifully open old warehouse on the near eastside of Madison and was released in April of 2022.
