Music

“The Cold Hard Truth” was written in one of the darkest seasons of my life—anxiety, depression, and fighting storms no one else could see. ⛈️

We didn’t need much back then – just enough gas to make it through the night, loud music, and the long way home.

Lost jobs. Tight money. Heavy days.

“Take It Easy On Me” is about getting back up when life keeps swinging.

Sometimes you’re short on cash. Sometimes you tell the man to kiss your ass. 😏

Independent artists and songwriters are playing bigger stages than ever. Whether you’re looking to build your fanbase, showcase original songs, or land industry attention, festivals are one of the fastest ways to grow your career.

“Every Fucking Night” is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever written. It’s a look back at the years I spent drowning myself in cheap beer, hard liquor, and anything that could quiet the noise in my head.

Sometimes you spend years trying to outrun the ghosts behind you… and sometimes the only way forward is to finally say “I’ve had enough — I’m on my way.”

From the stories that start with one beer and end with a legend or two… “Drinking Friends” kicks off my new album X1: Songs from the Bar, a collection of barroom tales and late-night memories.
