Christian country rock

Welcome to my site. I have posted a bunch of songs on this site. I hope you enjoy listening. Most of these songs are either Country or Jazz, but there are exceptions...but all are family friendly.
My influences are the country rockers of the 70's & 80's. In addition, I have influences in other genre's of music as well, but I really like the beat, and harmonies present in Country Rock.
 
So sit back and enjoy.
