I'm on song two and really enjoying your music. You just need to get rid of those Pabst Blue Ribbon beers and get a cold frosty Hamm's. Then it will be perfect, just perfect i tell ya. Much Love...Fruit

"He reminds me of Tom Petty. Not in any "hey, this guy's ripping off Tom Petty" kind of way, but just cause it reminds me of him. Maybe it's because they rock and roll pretty hard, and at the right moments."

Ok! Tour is over. I've been hearing "when's the next album coming?" a lot on the road. The answer is 2012. Two of 'em. Maybe even an E.P. Since I run my own label, I am the one who makes my deadlines
