As a teenager in St. Louis, MO, I was lucky enough to take my guitar lessons from the amazingly talented, Brian Curran. Not only was Brian’s music and outlook on life a huge inspiration to me, but he also introduced me to the blues. One day during a lesson, Brian told me to take his copy of Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings, and listen to it at home. I did, and was immediately hooked. I had loved music all of my 14 years, but I had never heard anything like the Delta Blues. It was eye-opening (ear-opening rather) to hear what had influenced so much of the music that I already loved. Obviously this was just the tip of the blues iceberg. So today, I still love the core blues musician that any fan knows, Son House, Memphis Minnie, Leadbelly, but there are still so many for me to learn about, and I think that is so exciting. I am currently exploring the local music scene in my new residence, Woodstock, GA, with my son, Tristan Skylar, who luckily inherited my great taste in music. I still play guitar and sing the blues as often as I can. I am very happy to be a part of Killer Blues with my dear old friend, Aaron Pritchard, and all of my new friends as well.
Every day I have the blues.

I have always had a passion for music! I grew up listening to my brothers and sisters, as they are all amazing musicians. I met Aaron Pritchard about five or six years ago, and we became great friends. I quickly recognized his passion for the blues. After listening to him play and learning the different styles, I became addicted! I quickly realized that all of the music that I was passionate about like Widespread Panic, The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, etc...were all directly influenced by the blues. I am proud to be a part of such an amazing organization and to work with such amazing people.
