Southern style cuisine, old time country and blues, and down home atmosphere is served up every Saturday at Miller's Cafe located at 7011 Main Street, Christiana TN.  I believe their website is http://www.millersgrocery.com.

I'll be playing there from 5-9pm.  Acoustic duo featuring guitar, upright bass, and harmonica!  I play country, blues, and old timey folk at this venue...with my originals mixed in of…

Luke Amelang brings his style of old timey country/bluegrass to Miller's every Saturday night!  I play mandolin, lead guitar and sing harmony and Shawn Supra plays upright bass.

For those of you who have never been to Miller's you are in for a treat!  This converted grocery/restaurant has great food and a fun down home style atmosphere.  I also highly recommend seeing the Friday night band "The Howling Brothers"...these guys can really pick!

5-9pm.   Every Saturday.  …

Lately I've been noticing that most crowds at the venues I've been playing would rather hear modern rock than country.  Has anyone else run into this?  I mean...this is Nashville for crying out loud!!!  People would rather hear a band cover Garbage or Journey more than Buck Owens or Ray Price.  What the #$@*!

Honestly, that little corner on lower Broad (Roberts, Laylas, etc.) is the only place where the crowd really wants country music.  Pretty ironic and funny if you ask me.…

I struggled with the decision to do a blues recording...I knew it's not the kind of thing that gets attention from labels and such.  Ultimately I decided to follow my muse and do what I wanted to do artistically.  The EP entitled "Blue Heart" just got a great review...

I'm happy to announce that I have a few residencies going on for the summer!

Every Tuesday at Anchor High Grill in Hendersonville,TN!  2 for 1 Tuesdays on the lake.  Best deal in town!

Every Saturday at Miller's Grocery in Christiana, TN!  Great food, BYOB.  Sometimes I'll be playing sideman, sometimes I'll be frontman, but I'm booked every Sat.

Every other Thursday at Broadway Brewhouse West in Nashville, TN!  7/14, 7/28.

I'll…

I started recording a collection of blues tunes in January 2011...and I'm happy to say that I think the tracking is finally done!  It's a fun little bunch of tunes.  Half originals, half covers, all soul.  This project was a little different for me in that I did it live (including vocals) with no metronome.  Old school.  I got some great players in the same room, set up some mics and hit record!  The stuff is swinging and honest.  Some country-blues, some Sun Records sounding stuff, some…
