A Greenville singer whose direct, emotional songs like 'Black And Blue' found a national audience.
For a good frame, listen to 'I'll Be' for the hit and something like 'Black And Blue' for the later, more grounded writing.
He's one of those artists who got a foothold with a single radio hit, 'I'll Be,' but stuck around by writing straightforward, emotional material. Songs like 'Black And Blue' or 'Lost In America' are built around his voice and an acoustic guitar, and that directness has kept him working for decades. He's also collaborated with folks like Maia Sharp, John Mayer, and Darius Rucker along the way.
He came out of Greenville, South Carolina and put out his first album, 'Uncle Slick,' in 1992. After 'I'll Be' gave him a national audience, he released albums like 'Messenger' and 'Misguided Roses' in the '90s, and later ones including 'The Austin Sessions' from 2018.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
