ABOUT THE ARTIST

"Hello. I have been writing, recording and performing music since 2004. For most of my twenties I led an indie-rock band called The Lonely Forest. We toured with bands like Death Cab For Cutie, played on Jimmy Kimmel Live and were voted a "best new artist" on NPR, among other things.

I became a Christian and eventually left that band in order to live a healthier life. I began releasing music under my own name in 2017. I have released five full length solo albums that vacillate between loud indie-rock and low-fi acoustic music. I sing openly about my faith, but I also sing openly about everything else; thus I tend to make music that walks a precarious path between the secular and sacred.

My live shows typically are confessional, interactive experiences in which I perform alone on the guitar and piano; I enjoy using the live format as a chance to tell bits and pieces of my own redemptive story. When I'm not making solo music I play/sing in multiple bands, lead worship at a local church and I write "modern hymns" for a publishing company. I currently live with my wife and two children in Anacortes, WA.
