My new band is an Americana original music band, of which I'm lead singer and songwriter. Our sound a unique mix of r&b, rock pop and country. I am very excited, we have been rehearsing for a while and will play our premier showcase gig soon. (I'll alert you when the date is confirmed). We have great management and big plans.
