A Maine-born songwriter with a raw voice and eight studio albums of intimate storytelling.
If you need a place to start, 'Trouble' and 'Shelter' frame it pretty well. That's the sound, weathered, a little lonely, and completely his own.
That voice hits you first, a gravelly, soulful thing that sounds like it's been through something. It's there on 'Trouble', the title track from his 2004 debut, and it carries through songs like 'Shelter' and 'Winter Birds'. He writes about love and loneliness without much fuss, just a guitar and that direct, unadorned sound.
He started with 'Trouble' in 2004, introducing his folk-blues style. Since then he's put out eight albums, working with musicians like Ethan Johns and collaborating with John Prine. The records keep coming, including 'Monovision' in 2022.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
