Unincorporated Ducktown
Fun pop cover of a fellow Nashville artist, the heavy pop-punk band No, This Is Patrick! I made this as a challenge for the Nashville Song Swap project where Nashville artists are being randomly assigned to cover each other. I played all instruments and vocals, engineered, produced, mixed, and mastered this song, and had a great time with it! ENJOY!!!more

Stopping by Woods on a Bloody Evening
Opening track of Black Holler (Original Soundtrack). I wrote and recorded the score and soundtrack for comedy/horror film Black Holler, and this is a little taste of the score! The album is SUPER fun, with lots of different styles of songs for the 1989 setting. ENJOY!more
