FAQ:
Why don’t you try out for American Idol?
The contestants on American Idol are to musicians what meth dealers are to pharmacists.
Why aren't you famous yet?
That's not the target I'm aiming for. Watch this, it explains much: Before The Music Dies
Why don’t you take breaks when you play at live venues?
I get to play guitar and sing for a living…
Who / What is your favorite artist / song?
Can’t pick just one, but for some of my favorite albums, groups, and songs, click here.
What is your favorite cover song to play live?
Switchblade by Roger Clyne or Wallflower by Caroline’s Spine. Great songs, though I rarely play 'em.
Why don’t you play songs by…
John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, etc.?
Every white kid in America who owns an acoustic guitar plays those songs.
Neil Young, Bob Dylan, etc.?
Despite their place in music history and the millions of fans who obviously adore them, some guys make my ears vomit.
Beach Boys, Crosby Stills & Nash, Mamas & the Papas, etc.?
That's kinda like trying to turn Ocean's 11 into a one-man play.
Metallica, Three Days Grace, Shinedown, Nickelback, etc.?
Same reason James Hetfield doesn't sing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". It would sound freakin' goofy.
Madonna, Pink, Taylor Swift, etc.?
You may need professional help.
...and to be fair about it, the artist you're requesting doesn’t play my songs either.
Will you let me play your guitar?
Are you single?
I am very happily, blissfully, ecstatically married. Thanks for asking.
Do you teach guitar lessons?
Not at this time, sorry.
