They've always told me, "Quit yer day job!"...still do. But I'm a late-bloomer, and like good whiskey, it has taken a few decades (and a few miles and a little pain) to fully barrel-proof my tone. Now it's 110-proof and two miles high.

I left the cities behind and came to this place of extremes, and here found the perfect analogue and missing link to a sound I've been cultivating.

If selected for the Telluride gig, I will reward you handsomely by bringing my glass slide, though it will be most unfair to the other entrants. I will likely also have a small army of my slightly-dysfunctional Silverton extended family in my wake.
