Hello. I and a musician and writer. You can find my music on Bandcamp and all streaming services and my recent writing online at American Songwriter.
My first novel, The Twin Affair, was published on September 28, 2023. I’m currently editing the second edition.
I am a songwriter and was previously published by Kobalt and Nettwerk.
I played in an indie rock band called Lapush, and we performed on Last Call with Carson Daly, among other things. I then formed an electronic duo with Kendall Morgan called Rossi.
I’ve played many shows around the world with John Prine, Brandi Carlile, Robert Plant, Nine Inch Nails, Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Social Distortion, and others.
In 2013, I collaborated with Wyclef Jean from the Fugees on my single, “Shipwreck” (feat. Ruby Amanfu).
If life on a tour bus—or more often, crammed inside a 15-passenger van—wasn’t strange enough, my music publisher introduced me to a casting agent, and this meeting led to a recurring role as a musician on the ABC musical drama Nashville for six seasons. I’m old enough to remember a time when artists were uncomfortable with the amorphous idea of selling out. Still, I often license my songs to film and TV (The Good Wife, Body of Proof, various shows on MTV, commercials, and the like).
Occasionally, my friends hire me to play guitar for them. They include: Leigh Nash (Sixpence None the Richer), Ruby Amanfu, and Will Hoge.
I’m finishing a new album, too.
