Also, working on a radio interview/performance at Fredonia State Univ. in a few weeks.

Worst show ever played:

My friend Robin put on an evening of poetry called Saucebox at the old Stimulance Café. I was to perform before the show and during the intermission. During my first performance I broke a string in the middle of my second song. Of course, I didn’t bring any replacements. I was so embarrassed that I had to stop and race home to get another one. After driving to my house and then back to Stimulance (like a man possessed), I finally got the replacement string put on…only to break it again during the next song! Sometimes things aren’t meant to be.

Best show ever played:

This past summer, I performed at a music festival called Thirsty Melon at the Six Flags in Lexington, Ky. It was great. I not only got to play two showcase spots but also got to go on all of the rides, including the water rides, for free.

Anything else you would like our readers to know about yourself/your music?

I’ve been nominated “Best Male Solo Artist” for the 2006 International Online Music Awards. My song “Warpath” has been in rotation at over 150 acoustic–format radio stations in the U.S. and abroad. My song “Sunflower” will be included on 107.7 The Lake’s Local Music CD – Vol. 3.
