I’m finally playing a show in the actual California beach town that I live in! I hope my SoCal contingent can make it out for this FREE event. Not only does E Street Cafe serve excellent food and drinks but they are super close to the ocean. I’ll be joined by another local, Jay Smart… Continue reading Encinitas Show

The Luxury Liners is the band I started with my good buddy, Chad Edgington, when we moved to Nashville in 1997. We were two goofy Texans obsessed with Gram Parsons, The Beatles, rhinestones, and Coca Cola. We learned so much about writing, performing, and recording in those early days. In 2000, after several years of… Continue reading The Luxury Liners – Believe EP

It was around this time three years ago that I started playing solo shows. After years of having a band of brothers surrounding me on the stage, I was suddenly showing up at gigs alone. Well, I wasn’t showing up alone – I always made sure to have friends playing before and after me. One… Continue reading House of Blues, San Diego, CA

I moved to Nashville in 1997 to make music. Since then I’ve made 11 albums with wonderful friends and played countless shows around town, the US, and the world.

The album has been getting great reviews so we hope you Texas-folk can come down and buy… Continue reading Foxymorons CD Release

Besides working on new solo tunes and The Foxymorons album, I also did a lot of traveling this summer. One exciting thing was a week-long trip to Texas to play bass for my old Luxury Liners band mate, Chad Edgington. We “got the band back together” for a summer camp in East Texas. I also… Continue reading Summer Recap

Earlier this year my childhood pal, Jerry James, and I recorded our 4th album as The Foxymorons. Jerry flew to Nashville several times during the snowy Tennessee winter to record tracks in my frigid basement. We ended up with ten eclectic pop/rock songs covering a range of topics like dressing gowns, self esteem, and dairy… Continue reading New Foxymorons Album

Well, this summer I’ve been doing a little experiment. I decided to NOT record a new album alone at my house and to work with producers instead. I’ve basically spent the last several months trying out new sounds and arrangements with different producers here in Nashville. I have no idea what I’m going to do… Continue reading Working With Producers

Howdy, y’all. I’m so happy that March is here. I’ve been hunkered down or snuggied up in the studio finishing the 4th Foxymorons album and I’m ready to play some shows. I’ll be posting them here and on all the social sites as they roll in. I’ll be trying out more new songs at the… Continue reading Spring Musics

Hope you had a good holiday. I’m back in the saddle and jazzed about the new year. I have a busy month to tell you about but before that I wanted to say thank you for all the positive words about the Christmas album. It never occurred to me that the album would be played… Continue reading January Shows

Why am I tied up in a Christmas bow? Because I made a new Christmas album! After releasing albums for ten years it was either time for a greatest hits or a Christmas album. It’s called ‘Next Christmas’ and features a mix of Christmas classics and new original tunes. You can currently listen to the… Continue reading Next Christmas
