I grew up in Fortsonia, Georgia on Baker’s Ferry Road. That’s in Elbert County. Granite Capital of The World. There was a granite shed in the yard and he went to sleep every night to the rhythm of two ton diamond wet saw as a kid. My brothers and I would ride the crane like a zip line. I worked in there every summer. Learned my first chord in Alaska in a canvas mining tent. Played my first show there. Lived and worked on the Kenai Peninsula five different times. One time for a winter. Ten foot of snow and walking to work. My first band, Georgia Dish Boys, put out nine albums in five years and toured a hundred and thirty dates a year. I’ve made songs, paintings, short films, poems, short stories, and photographs. My first solo album, Saturday Morning Cartoons, comes out in April. It was produced by my buddy Justin Collins (Nikki Lane, Deer Tick, T Hardy Morris, Diamond Rugs).
