Straight On Through

Gritty folk rock from Nevada.  Solid bass and drums with a soaring slide guitar solo. 

"Called to Drink" is a nod to the drinking dreams that many recovering alcoholics and addicts have long after they obtain sobriety. Other themes are the strength of women and the dynamics in relationships that can cause them to be tricky. 

01-Called to Drink-v1

I’m a bass player, acoustic and electric guitar player, lead singer and songwriter. My band American Flats has been rocking venues in the Pacific Northwest with our melodic, dusky vocaled Americana for over 5 years now.  We released an album “Nevada” on vinyl and on all the streaming platforms in 2024.  I also play solo shows, write Haikus and do a little work in film and theater.
