First of all, thanks to everyone that has been coming to the shows around Houston. They keep getting better and better, and are more fun each time. As for the album, I have been working, but I am not completely happy with it yet. Some good has come from the studio sessions though. I took a short break from my own songs to record a classic 90's song. Head over to the DOWNLOADS page and check out my version of Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It". I have also updated the BLOG, and I will be video taping some of my gigs this weekend, so I will try to post some footage next week. Check out the gangster artwork for the new song.

I have been playing a lot of gigs lately, and I have 4 coming up this week. If you are in the Houston are, I would love to see you at one of them. Check the SHOWS page for venues and times. The cd is still a work in progress, but I am getting closer. I have written a few new songs, and I am still deciding on the ones that will make the final cut. In the mean time, I have updated the BLOG section and added a new VIDEO of me covering the John Mayer song "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room".

I have been in the studio working hard on making these songs, and I am getting closer to being done. If all goes according to plan I will be finished with the album in the next few weeks. I have been playing some of the new songs at my gigs, and they seemed to be getting a good response, so I can't wait for the rest of you guys to hear them. Also thanks to everyone that has been buying the new T-shirt and sporting it. It really means a lot. Last but not least, I have updated the BLOG section and added a new VIDEO of me covering the Citizen Cope song "Sideways".
I am finally home from my 6 week adventure in Thailand, and it was such an amazing experience. I had my guitar with me so I was able to write a few new songs and tweak some of the ones I had already written. I have a lot of
exciting news. First of all, I have added a STORE to the website, and I have my first T-Shirt available. Go check it
out and get one for yourself and a friend. Secondly, since I am back home,I will be posting some new cover songs in the DOWNLOAD section every week. This weeks song is "Delicate" by Damien Rice. Last but not least, today is
officially day 1 for recording the new record. I will be posting pictures during the weeks to come so you guys can
see how it's coming. Keep checking back, because there will be a lot of activity on the site in the next few weeks.

Hello All, some people have been asking about the new cd, and when it will be done. I am currently on a 6 week vacation in Thailand, so i am writing more songs, and perfecting the ones i have already written. The day i get home, i will hit the studio. I have been in Thailand for 5 days, and it has been one crazy week. I have my guitar with me, so i will try to post a video here and there while i'm out here, but i have to travel to find internet access, so don't hold your breath. I'll drop in soon.

Sorry for the lack of updates. It has been a crazy few weeks. I have officially moved back to the U.S. and I'm in the process of booking some gigs in Houston. I want to say thank you to everyone in Australia that came out to the shows over the last 14 months. I have met some very interesting people, and I have made some good friends. Australia, you will be missed, and I will be back soon. Now that I am home, I can focus on finishing the new record. I have 20 songs ready to go, so I have my work cut out for me. Check back for more updates, and I will be posting some videos of me in the studio. I will also start posting more cover songs this week. I promise I will be updating more often, so stay tuned. Cheers.

The BLOG has been updated, and this weeks free DOWNLOAD is one of my favorite songs of all time. Drum roll please....... "A Long December" by Counting Crows. It is such a beautiful song, and hopefully I did it justice. Things have been kind of slow this week, but I did write another new song. It always amazes me when a song comes out of nowhere and just slaps me in the face. I can only pray the song gods will continue slapping me until I just can't write anymore. I am super excited about my new record, and can't wait for everyone to hear it.

I have been sick for the last week, so i didn't get a chance to put a download up last week. To make up for this, i posted 2 songs. "Hallelujah" is probably one of the most covered songs in history, but i didn't it anyway, so let me know what you think. The second song is "Mo Money Mo Problems" by one of my favorite rappers. Head over to the DOWNLOAD section and check it out. I have been working on the new record, and i am excited for you guys to hear the new songs. I will be posting a new song in the next few weeks on my myspace, so keep checking back.
