Good song about something we like to make fun of and hate every year. ;) Enjoy! You will.

Rust & Shadows" is more than just an album, it's a journey through dimly lit bars, empty roads, and lost dreams. Each track carries the weight of time, echoing in the raw guitar slides, moody basslines, and soul-stirring vocals.

From whiskey-soaked regrets to midnight whispers, this collection of slow blues tells stories of love, loss, and the ghosts that never fade. Let the melodies sink in, and let the shadows speak.

Press play, close your eyes, and let the blues take over.

Hometown growing to a place I don’t recognize any more.

Hometown gone city

A feel-good, genre-blending journey through the sounds of Southern rock, country, and folk. It's an eclectic mix that feels like a live jam session, with intricate guitar work, layered harmonies, and a laid-back, summery vibe. The songs are rich with storytelling, painting vivid pictures of life, love, and the open road. From upbeat, celebratory anthems perfect for a bonfire, to heartfelt, reflective ballads that tug at the heartstrings, the album maintains a consistent mood of laid-back authenticity. It's music that's both polished and raw, a perfect soundtrack for a long drive, a day at the beach, or just kicking back with friends.

I Never Knew

Ton Of Bricks

"Old Montana" is a country-rap anthem that blends gritty realism with heartfelt nostalgia, telling the story of a beloved land transformed by wealth, fantasy, and rising costs. Beneath the surface of designer boots and luxury ranches, the track reveals a deeper truth — that the real Montana still fights to survive in its people, its land, and its unbreakable spirit.
