Bio

He was born in N.C. near the red swampy waters of the Haw River and was struck by lightning as a small child. The thunderstruck kid couldn't speak for years so music became his guiding force. At age 16 he wandered into a small pawn shop in south Fla. and was miraculously healed when " that thar Silvertone hollowbody spoke to me " and he began to wail!! as in cry - but speak he did. He hid out in a moonshiner woodshed where OCD and social anxiety rendered him a recluse. After a few years he was said to have been visited in a vision by the Shaman of the Banshee who told him to spread the word of rock'n'roll but don't let the devil get your soul boy!
