Fourth Friday Fireside

Fourth Friday Fireside | April 25

His stripped down, earthy sound is directly influenced by the small, rural town where he was born and raised. The hard-working, simple living, and friendly way of life of the Midwest shines through his music that is understated yet complex and rich with simplicity.
