WHO I AM…

BORN AND RAISED AMONG THE BLUE MOUNTAINS OF OREGON, MUSIC HAS BEEN A LIFE LONG LOVE OF MINE. MY GRANDFATHER WAS LEGENDARY COUNTRY SINGER AND SONGWRITER MONTE GARRISON, WHO GAVE ME MY FIRST GUITAR AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO PLAY IT. OVER THE YEARS I’VE DRAWN INSPIRATION FROM HIS MANY SONGS AS WELL AS ARTISTS SUCH AS BONNIE RAITT, ARETHA FRANKLIN, MAVIS STAPLES, ROY ORBISON, AND STEVIE NICKS.

WHO I’M LIKE…

THE ARTISTS I AM MOST OFTEN COMPARED TO BASED ON SOUND AND SONGWRITING STYLES ARE: HOZIER, RAY LAMONTAGNE, JOHN DENVER, AND ORVILLE PECK.

WHERE I PERFORM…

I PERFORM ALL OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FROM EUGENE TO SEATTLE AND BEYOND. NO STRANGER TO PACKING UP AND HITTING THE ROAD I’M AVAILABLE TO PLAY MOST PLACES, AND HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILE EQUIPMENT.
