Tattooed Folk

<p>I am a singer/songwriter with songs to share and I want to share them with you. But don&#8217;t think of my songs as just songs. These songs are my story and it&#8217;s a story of fatherhood, homelessness, love, addiction, recovery, pain, comfort and unity told in front of a backdrop of my unique style of &#8220;tattooed folk&#8221; music. My roots are in the small (really small) town of Henning, Minn. (population 735) where I was born and raised and started playing guitar at age 12. But I came of age musically and developed my aggressive finger-picking style while living in Nashville in 2002. I gained a lot of respect among many of Nashville’s songwriters, concert promoters and listeners during the year I lived and performed there, but my veins flow 30-below. With my first child on the way, my wife and I moved back to Minnesota. Being a husband and a father has been fodder for many songs, but so has my past personal life and membership in numerous alternative, punk and metal bands. I’ve lived a long 30 years. A lot of my life seems unbelievable, but I assure you it’s all true. From jumping out of a moving cars, to meeting the love of my life at karaoke while in recovery, to trading in my philosophy books for Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss, this is my life. I like who I’ve become musically. I write music for me first. This is my story and it’s often like a surreal dream that you try to stay asleep for. If you want to come along for the ride and listen in, I invite you to stay awhile and I hope you enjoy it. After releasing short runs of the &#8220;Figments EP&#8221; solo and &#8220;The EP&#8221; with Doug Yorgason in the acoustic group East Arm, I took a few years off from recording. My second solo EP release, the &#8220;Tattooed Folk EP,&#8221; was released April 2008. Now it&#8217;s time to embark on a full-length studio recording that demands some serious attention.</p>
