I wrote this song the day after my 20th birthday when I found myself reflecting on so many memories that led me to where I am today. At first it made me feel kinda old, but at the same time I know the journey is far from over. I'm so thankful for all the opportunities and places I've been in such a short time, but most of all, for the amazing people I've met and the friends I've made. This song is for all of you. Hope you enjoy this stripped down acoustic tune, 20.

A song I wrote for my songwriting class's final project. Had so much fun working on this and hope you guys enjoy it! 

Lyrics:

When you fall, you fall hard, not a blessing or curse.
Ignore all of the scars that remind you it hurts.
And then you’d never walk away,
You always had to go investigate.

When you call me from so many miles away
Girl, I already know what you’re trying to say
So dull the voices in your head
And maybe listen to your heart instead.
Because you

Spin, spin, spin like a carousel
When the truth sinks in, I wish you well.
As you’re whirlin’ around, yeah you tighten your grip
When it starts to slow down, you’re right back on it.
Take it easy, 
And relax, you’re just dizzy.

I know sometimes it’s hard
To decode what’s in your heart
But typically it’s black and white
And not a reason to lose sleep at night

It’s the thrill of the chase
And it’s sweet to the taste
But the tears on your face say otherwise
Because whenever he’s around, you never stay on solid ground.

You know I know we’re losing touch
But I know you know I can’t do much
So what did you expect?
And you know I know you think too much
But I know you know he’s not enough
So have some self-respect.

Circles

This was one of many projects I had in the past few weeks. Been wanting to bring this song to life for almost an entire year, and I was fortunate enough to not only do that, but have some amazing players on it as well. Thanks to the insanely talented Chase Potter for lending his violin chops, plus several other session musicians who are just so good at what they do. Hope you guys enjoy the song!

Another Life

An older track I never got around to finishing, but I'm super proud of it. Hope you dig it!

Not Like You (Demo)

New track! Glad I finally got around to finishing this guy up, with a little help from my friends:

Matt Byron - Bass Guitar
Jake Ohlbaum - Acoustic Guitar
Harry Price - Lead Guitar

Had so much fun recording this in the studio and with my set up at home in my room. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Chasing Ghosts

On The Run was written over almost a 2 year period and has been done for some time now, but I only recently got around to finishing this recording for school. Hope you enjoy it!

On The Run (Demo)

LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON (Remastered)

Remastered version of a song about a girl.

I was asked to record this by a woman who wanted this to be the song her and her fiance would have their first dance to at their wedding in March. I couldn't be more honored as she based her selection of me on a YouTube video that dates back almost 4 years ago. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF6qqR4QAG8)
 I've never met this women or her fiance, but I really wish them all the best in the world and thank them for such a great privilege. Had so much fun playing this song and reconnecting with it. Forgot how much I fell in love with it in the first place, and it warms my heart knowing that my take on it will be playing in such a setting of love and endearment. Hope you guys enjoy it.

I Caught Fire (Acoustic Cover - The Used)

No way I could ever do the original justice, so don't tear me apart lol. Just really love this song, and hope you guys enjoy my take on Ed Sheeran's "The A Team."

I, in no way shape or form, own the rights to this song.

The A Team (Ed Sheeran Cover)

Another one of my favorites by The Wonder Years. Watch the live video of this recording here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeKnzNX7JpY
