Album Notes

Songwriter/guitarist/pianist from Sugar Land, TX. Joined the band Dashboard Confessional in the Spring of 2002. Has been busy traveling, touring, and recording with them ever since. Recently got the itch to write and record his own album - and did so in between cracks in the schedule during 2008. Tracked in Dallas, TX, “Better By Design,” his solo debut, began life as handful of home recordings that were eventually expanded in the studio. Music ranges from ELO-inspired ‘kitchen sink rock,’ of, “Dream Your Life Away,” and the title track, to the more streamlined Brit-pop of, “Lucy,” and, "Ordinary Guy." This record shows a wide range of traditional pop/rock songwriting, and some pretty fun melodies. Wish it was on vinyl...
