The music is a blend of Austin style Country, with roots from many different sub-genre's, from traditional to progressive.
His first single "The Garment" reached #48 on Christian Country Music Radio followed by "Can You Believe?" that reached #17.

Setlist
A typical set would be the complete album (10 songs), which is a journey of testimony. Depending on how the Lord leads, a set usually will be between 45 minutes to an hour or longer if needed.
Another option is: Having me do the Praise and Worship portion, of your church service, and following up with a concert that evening.
Another option is: Having me preach and sing a full church service. (Think of it as a needed break for you pastors...)
Note: I use CD audio tracks that are the actual studio recordings from my album. I play electric and acoustic guitar along with the tracks which gives the music a "live" feel.
*Please know that I am very flexible and will gladly work with you on the best way to impact your church or venue for Christ.
