He has since gone solo and released a solo acoustic album that was recorded in both Mississippi and Fort Wayne, IN where he now resides. If you haven’t seen him on stage, you are missing what has been referred to as a high-energy acoustic show that is by no means laid back. “I try to keep the crowd involved from beginning to end.
