Biography
You know the old
saying, "You can take the boy out of the country, but you
can't take the country out of the boy"? Well, you
might just say that suits me right down to the bone. I was
born and raised in Ontario, spent ten
years living on the west coast of British Columbia, and now
reside in sunny southern Alberta!
I'm a country music
fan through and through but it's really the 'classic' country
style of music that has influenced and inspired me the most...
and of course the 'classic' country performers such as Johnny
Cash, George Jones, Kris Kristofferson, and even Elvis
too. Speaking of inspiration, I’ve been very fortunate to meet some
legendary country music performers (Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty,
Loretta Lynn, Kris Kristoffreson, Dwight Yokam) whose words of
encouragement will never fade from my memory or heart.
I spend most
weekends traveling and performing a mix of classic country tunes
along with my own original songs from my debut CD. My goal for
this year is to
put more emphasis on my own music and to continue to meet many
country music fans here in Alberta and beyond.
Keep your eyes and
ears open in the coming weeks and months... 'cause you just
can't keep this country boy on the farm!
