Banjo Garden Jams - Peace of Mind

I got off work early last night and found myself in my garden with my banjo. Here is a banjo version of my original song, Peace of Mind. I hope that you enjoy! Also, I was visited by the Itsy Bitsy Spider, and may have also eaten a fly. Maybe I should have swallowed the spider to eat the fly... I try not to consume bugs though. It really isn't my thing.

Crystal Porter - Jolly Ol' St. Nick

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, so I decided to play a familiar tune for all of you lovelies. Here is my rendition of Jolly Ol' St. Nick. Happy holidays!

Lead Mule - Parts and Labour (Music Video)

As some of you know, I share a couple band mates (Mat & Travis) with a rock band called Lead Mule. Last month, I got to work with a great team of people and directed/edited a video for the title track of their new album "Parts and Labour," which will be released in late August.

I present to you now, the fruit of our labour.
