Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I guess I'd like to see the world. I'd like to see the whole damn thing. I'd go anywhere I've never been provided it isn't especially dangerous.
ABOUT ME
I've spent the last half of my life obsessed with music and caring about nothing else. The opportunities I've been afforded to travel as a musician (as a member of Nashville groups Lambchop, Hands Off Cuba, Cortney Tidwell and now Kort) have completely turned my head inside out. Now I spend endless time obsessing about seeing more of the world.
PHILOSOPHY
Follow your bliss.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'll never forget going to Istanbul. I don't have words to describe it. It's like nowhere I've been before or since, a truly magical place. Playing the Vienna Konzerthaus was something special as well.
Teach, Learn, Share
Though I don't have a music degree I'm a proud autodidact and have played music for over half of my life and feel fairly knowledgeable on the subject and can talk endlessly about it. I'd love to share anything I know.
