Born in Macon, GA in the same hospital where Little Richard was born. Started on piano when I was 6 or so. At 8 my neighbor showed me a few chords on guitar and how to hold a simple 4/4 beat on the kit. Started writing songs and poetry not long after that. Bought my first tape machine at 13 and have been making records ever since.
Played in various bands all over the country - Los Angeles, CA - Portland, OR - Macon/Atlanta/Athens, GA - Nashville, TN - but my one mainstay has always been my personal project - Nomenclature - with which I have self-released a dozen or so records since 2005. I’ve got a new one due out this year called “Death Of A Magician”.
I grew up mostly in punk/slacker/art bands, so my time in Rumours ATL has helped me hone in on a certain nuanced approach to playing and performing, mostly thanks to Buckingham’s intricate fingerpicking style. Conversely, I think anyone who has seen one of our shows can vouch for the fact that I still let that punk/feral side come out to play. I see it as an exercise in balance - one that certainly translates to all aspects of life - and I can think of no better material to flex that muscle with than Fleetwood Mac.
