I am very excited to announce that I will be a recording a brand new project for M.C. Records! I expect to be tapping into my lifelong love of American roots blues, celebrating the founders and best of the classic blues legends, and maybe some of my own originals. The recording will be filled with slide, overlapping acoustic parts, and funky rhythms. Can’t wait to get started!!
