I did the solo acoustic thing for a few years but when I turned twenty I met Paul Wade, and we started jamming out together. Playing shows at Curtain Club and Liquid Lounge down in Dallas. The shows got bigger and we decided we needed to start piecing together a band. So we got Brandon Bush from Oceanside California on bass and Andy Sanchez from Rockwall Texas on drums. Southern Most Star was born.

We hit the scene hard, playing everywhere from The Ridlea Theater to Club Clearview to The Door. The fans loved the fusion of so many different styles of music we brought to them. Word got out that we had some talent and Goodnight Audio of Dallas contacted us soon after asking us if we wanted to cut a three song EP, and we jumped on it. The first night we where in the studio we jammed out the version of Sideways and Three Words.

I decided to record Broken Lines which is one of my acoustic tracks that I had written while Southern Most Star was together, and the response on that song has been incredible. With almost 20,000 plays in a little over 2 months its been amazing to see how many people its touched. I also decided to concentrate more on the acoustic solo career while SMS pieces itself back together.

Ive been playing a lot of shows lately with nothing more then an acoustic guitar and my voice, which has brought a lot more attention to the music that I write. Now I have plans to have a fully mixed and mastered acoustic EP (demo) available by mid august, so keep your eyes out for that.
