I’m soooo over the moon stoked to tell everyone about my new position as Lead Guitar for Josey Scott starting this month on August 18th in Tulsa, OK. If you are not familiar with Josie, he was the founding Vocalist of the band Saliva, and while with Saliva he released the massive hits “Click Click Boom”, “Your Disease”, “Always” and “Ladies and Gentlemen”, sold over 6 million albums, gained 4 Grammy Nominations and a VMA.
I can’t wait to see you at a show soon!
Yes Indeed! I am so happy to be writing that Twelve Valve Diesel has returned and now is based out of Tulsa, OK. I have brought back more of my favorite tunes and arrangements as well as some new great songs to bring the party to life. We have re-vamped our Logo and Show Banners, our Marketing and Press info, and our PA and Lighting rigs for our live shows! More importantly we have added some new members (more info coming soon). Please come and see the new Twelve Valve Diesel tear it up on New Years Eve in Cushing, OK at the Buckhorn Bar! Y'all ready to put some SLAW on it?
Hi,
Firstly I just want to say a big thanks for all the support and love. I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am without the people closest to be being my encouragement and to push harder in the new year. The last 18 months has been that of quite personal turmoil but I'm happy to say that things are starting to look much better. Look for upcoming news about lesson openings for Guitar and Bass and relaunching, recording and performing with Twelve Valve Diesel and R3diculous in 2020 with fresh new attitude!

Thank you all so much for your continued support and God Bless, without you the fans I wouldn't be where i am today!
Happy New Years! I just wanted to throw a quick update for everyone. 2017 was BUSY, BUSY, BUSY... as you can tell with my blog being extremely sparse for the year (1 Blog)... tsk, tsk... but it was for good reason. As I have been building a compendium of my music adventures in 2017, I realized that I had performed 101 times. 101 TIMES in 1 year. Holy Smokes. Heres to new adventures for you all and a good round of joy and prosperity in the new year!!!!
Hey There Everyone!!!! So it's been a long winter but I haven't stopped working. Through the Winter season I worked with a new incarnation of The Incline and began as the primary guitarist is a local 90's-2000's Rock Tribute called MASS TRANSIT. These projects are awesome but I have had something up my sleeve waiting and working in the wings and this last month I have finally got to bring it to the fore front!!! Twelve Valve Diesel is my idea of what a great southern country rock should be. Covering all the artists I grew up with in OK like Jason Boland and Cross Canadian Ragweed as well as writing and arranging our own originals Twelve Valve is a spectacular band. We just got this awesome article i'll be tagging at the bottom written about us by our local news publication The Gazette. I haven't been this excited about a project since the Back Road Horizons days and we are gearing up for a solid summer full of shows and recording our debut effort. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through the years I can't wait to bring this new band and some new music to you!!!
