Packed up for the show, set up for the show! My first gig for the new year is today in Charlottesville, VA. 🎶 Already have 40 shows on my calendar, looking forward to a cool music year! #musiciansky #livemusic #guitarplayer #singer #musiclife

Barre chords can be tough to learn and that can be frustrating. The trick? Perseverance. Don’t avoid them. Don’t quit trying. Play them, practice quick change progressions, adjust your hand positions, challenge yourself, the more you play barre chords, the sooner you’ll be playing good ones. 🎶🎸

Inspired by the story of Locomotive 231 and its tragic loss in the Richmond tunnel collapse of 1925, this song is an ode to the railroad men and their steam locomotives of a bygone day.

🏃‍♂️ A beautiful day for a jog around the park! I still sing cadence in my head, “C-130 Rollng Down The Strip…” 🎶 😁 #FitOver60

My six shooters at rest after tonight’s band rehearsal, the first of the new year. Looking forward to playing some shows in 2026! #musiciansky #musician #music #livemusic #musiclife 🎶

I’ve learned not to assume that other guitarists already know what has taken me a lifetime of strumming to learn. My first and simplest piece of advice is to always tune your guitar before playing anything, as soon as you pick it up, tune up. It’s like a pre-flight check for an airplane. Tune first.

An axiom is a self-evident truth or a foundational statement accepted as true without proof, serving as a starting point for logical reasoning. Inspired by the daily dose of conflicting "truths" that relentlessly compete for our attention in today's world, our new song AXIOM drops 12/17. #musicsky
