About

Description: Will be wholeheartedly jumping into the great unknown, as I will be committing my first original compositions to paper (or, in this case, digital memory). Influenced by the guitar greats and of the 1960's & 1970's and by blues artists from the early 20th century until now, I hope to produce an album of music that is pleasing to listen to and hopefully sticks in your head.
Group Members: This is primarily a solo effort. I may need some add'l instrumental and/or production work from my bandmates, but it'll be mostly me
