Raised on Southern Gospel (80's) & Grunge (90's), he can be difficult to pin down into one genre, especially when you salt those influences w/a little Pink Floyd, a hint of CCR, the Doors, Buffalo Springfield, a dash of adult contemporary, and a pinch of... well, name it. "At 42 years old, it's not about doing something novel; it's about speaking from the heart." That can be felt most clearly in his song "Fighter", written after watching his dad's drawn-out, painful experience with dying, as well as his own struggle with anxiety and depression in 2020-21. Grounded in the wisdom of ancient Scriptures, this music has substance.
