Sleeping Tapes
My current-ish band that I play in with friends: Payton, Tyler, Jacob, and Coleman. You can occasionally find us yelling our hearts out in basements and poorly lit bars in Southern Illinois.

Alliswell
Formed in 2006, and though we've never officially disbanded, we last played a show sometime in 2014. Over the course of those 8 years playing guitars together, playing bars whenever, and getting lost in bad weather, we also released 5 EPs and 1 full length album. This band and the music we made together will forever be close to my heart, as will Wes, Chris, and Durf.

Ravenhill
I played guitar with Ravenhill for four years. They're still a band and they're some of my favorite people. I am incredibly thankful that I got to write/record with them for their stellar debut album SOUL. You can check it out on iTunes/AppleMusic, Spotify, Amazon, or whatever your preferred digital music service may be.

Harmless Sparks
Before Tyler and I started playing together in Sleeping Tapes, we made some folky jams with our friend Heather in the band Harmless Sparks.

Solo Stuff
In May 2021, I released my debut solo album, All Hail West Frankfort on Honey Gold Records. I recorded AHWF in my basement between September 2020 and February 2021. It’s the intersection of a global pandemic and being given a $40 microphone for my birthday. Making this helped me stave off some fierce anxiety and depression. Hopefully, it can do the same for others.
Indie for fans of: The Mountain Goats, John K. Samson, Bright Eyes, early Death Cab
