This is a live version of a truly ridiculous song I wrote entitled, "The Zip Tie Blues." It's about unorthodox ways of fixing things, all of which I have done, most of which I did at work. I am accompanied by Sarah Brafford on harmonica, and this…

This song is a work in progress. It is my version of the song "The Rains of Castamere," which is featured in George RR Martin's epic fantasy series "A Song of Fire and Ice" (Game of Thrones). I did not base my version off The National's version…

This is the first ever public performance of "Worth Hoping For," recorded live at the Aloft in Nashville, TN on June 2, 2013. I was a bit apprehensive, but I think it was a strong performance, and it was very well received.

This is a scratch version of a song I just wrote. It's basically a homage to a certain group of people who were strongly influential in changing me and making me who I am.

This song is probably, both musically and lyrically, the craziest thing I've ever done. There's a lot of threads that provoked it... the most important is the scriptural idea of the year of Jubilee... every 7 years all debts were forgiven, and…

This is a song I just recorded. I wrote the music for it a while ago, and may have even posted it up here as an instrumental. I decided it was time to write lyrics. It went slow, I got fragments, and it was looking like it was going to be a totally…

This is a love song I wrote for a friend of mine several years back... more could be said about that. Anyway, I reworked it into a rock version- this is from the City Cafe open mic. Sarah Brafford on Harmonica, Shane Avery (go google him, he is…

I recently, as of today, discovered that adding minimal reverb to tracks enhances the quality and professionalism of the recording. This discovery makes me want to pull my music production major friend aside, get her drunk, and ask her questions…

This is a song I wrote the lyrics to about 4 days ago and recorded just now. The verses are an pretty vivid example of how not to live life- the chorus is a part of how to do it right. Enjoy!

This is a cover of the classic Bob Dylan song (locked down and made famous by Old Crow Medicine Show) performed live at the Bennetts City Cafe in Hohenwald, TN by Peter Dickson with Sarah Brafford (harmonica) and Haley Thompson (backing vocals…

This is a live version of "The Only Way to Build is To Tear Down," a song I cowrote with Zack McCarter. On this track I am accompanied by Shane Avery on lead guitar and Sarah Brafford on harmonica. I hope you dig it!

This is another track recorded live at the first ever open mic at Bennetts City Cafe in Hohenwald, TN. (I organized event and was hosting). I had Sarah Brafford backing me on harmonica and ( think) Shane Avery on percussion for this one. Enjoy!

This is the first public live performance of my song "Deception!" It was performed live last night (march 19, 2013) in the thriving metropolis of Hohenwald, TN (USA) [pop 4000] at Bennetts City Cafe. I was accompanied by Shane Avery and Haley…

I just acquired a five string banjo. It was broken and I did a lot of work to it. It is now playable, though I'm waiting on some parts (the 5th string tuner is no good so it only has 4 strings, and I have to tune of of those 4 using vise grips…

This is the title track off my second album. That means it's not a new track, or recording. It was written in summer of 2012 and recorded around October or November of that year. But it had not been put up here and I thought I would share it…

I wrote this yesterday, and recorded it last night. It's the closest thing to radio country I've ever done (albeit with a little more depth to the lyrics). I think there's some good lines in there! Enjoy!

This is a love song I just wrote. It's the first normal love song I've written since "Western Hills" (i.e., three years). Writing love songs is kind of risky. If it doesn't work out- you're stuck with singing a song with all these unusual associations…

This is a departure from most of the stuff I have here. It is a reactivation of "Luminous Night" (my experimental electronic music project). The original incarnation involved layering multiple live-performed "drum" (they were actually piezo…

This is a fairly simple guitar part I came up with a couple days ago and my friend talked me into recording it. It needs words- perhaps that will come later.

This is a song I wrote tonight- an attempt to develop a fragment dating back almost 2 years. I hope you enjoy it!
