listen to the sound. the blend. the divine mixture. of what you sense. and what does not make sense. to believers. and dreamers. alike.

The Colonels of Truth are a 6 member high energy bluegrass band out of Seattle. This band wasn’t formed by child hood friends nor was it formed in some magical meeting one night at a bar. Like good whiskey it was distilled over years of playing with many musicians at various jams, house parties, and festivals. These are the guys that at 2 am are the ones that think the jam is just getting going. These are the guys that drive 2 hours one way to regularly go to a jam. They took their time slowly gathering like minded individuals under one banner to create the Colonels of Truth. When these guys get on stage you can tell not only are they talented musicians, but they really enjoy making music together. While these musicians prefer playing bluegrass music, they have highly diverse musical backgrounds from classical, jazz, funk, reggae, Brazilian, and rock and they bring the best of all these styles under one roof, energy of a rock show, precision vocal and instrumental harmonies, off the cuff improvisation, funk and reggae jams. Colonels of Truth play traditional bluegrass standards, appalachian old-timey tunes, obscure newgrass tunes, and original tunes. All of the members are song writers and arrangers, some of them have even won awards in song writing contests, and they bring this creativity to their playing.

I'm a Fort Worth area jazz guitarist that has worked extensively around the DFW Metroplex, mostly as a sideman, since I was 15 years old. I'm a regularly featured artist at top metroplex locations like The Hotel Crescent Court, The Dallas Arboretum, and Neiman Marcus (special events).  In 2009 I was one of a handful of local artists to be featured at the Winspear Opera House for the Grand Opening Week of the Dallas Center For the Performing Arts.  I was commissioned for two solo jazz guitar performances.  

My musical quest is to always "say something", in the way that Jim Hall, Lester Young, Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong would "say something". Jazz and improvised music is about creating a work of art, as with a great painting, a great film, or a great piece of literature. For me, music is about playing from the heart, and trying to connect to other human beings in a way that is meaningful and positive.

Dead Seconds is primeval blues-rock rooted in Brooklyn’s underground that defies taxonomy, injecting the petrified heartwood of psychedelia with the decadence of harmonious narrative. Over three years in the making, The Grain is Dead Seconds' first self-released studio album.
