This song’s been covered by a lot of folks, Hendrix’s probably the most famous, Michael Hedges’ is my favorite. With a respectful nod to Bob Dylan, here’s my version of All Along the Watchtower from a recent gig. 🎶

This is a busy month! 😀 The band is going back into the recording studio in a couple of weeks, so I'm only playing three solo acoustic shows in March. One is a private event, but the other two are open for everyone, so come hang out!

Hank Williams was my first actual influence as a young learning guitar player. His songs opened a path for me that I've walked with my guitar ever since. With a respectful nod to Hank, here’s my version of I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry. 🎶

I refer to my solo music style as Acoustic Rock with Blues and Americana infusion, and this song “Blue On Black” by the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band checks all the blocks. Watch he and Noah perform it live & acoustic sometime, fantastic!

I remember my brother and I singing this song together when it played on the car radio on Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 when we were kids in 1972. Here’s my acoustic version, sans harmonica, with a respectful nod to Neil Young. 🎶

Thank you! It’s a Taylor 614ce, my go-to guitar for about 13 years now.

I grew up at a time when this was a new song on the radio and I've always loved everything recorded by The Mamas and Papas. With a respectful nod to John Phillips, this is my acoustic version of California Dreamin' from a recent gig. 🎶

Highway of Shadows

While The J.O.B. is working on our next record, here’s our last album, Highway Of Shadows, selected by The Auricular as one of the ‘50 Best Richmond Records of 2018’ when it was released, original rock that stays true to the roots of the genre. Stream it on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/7K8F60...

If you’re going to post a gig pic from a slow night, crop out the dead space before posting it, any open floor or empty tables and chairs that appear in the photo, and zoom in on your live performance. Few things are as sad as a gig pic in what appears to be an empty room.
