The Story
Spent A Little Time On The Hill

From gritty rock and roll to soft ballads and everything in between, the songs come from the heart, from the road, loss, grief, joy, and the people. I try to create a space where listeners can draw their own inspiration.

Every Day
A song that points to how important relationships are, and when they don't work out, sometimes we feel loss and regret. This song is fun, danceable, easy to pick up the hook chorus, so many of the crowd sings along the very first time they hear it.
