Veteran West-Michigan based singer/songwriter/guitarist.
He lives in Ludington Michigan with his wife, Jenifer, son Quinn, dog Ela, works a day job where he helps alcoholics and drug addicts navigate early sobriety, plays solo dates, duos with former Dutch Henry bandmate Greg Miller, violinist Angela Corbin, 80's hair metal throwback "American Hairband", does freelance gigs, teaches, and still occasionally straps on a guitar for a live Beatle show in front of the mirror.
As a songwriter and arranger the focus remained on the song. Constructing music that compliments and moves literate, revealing, and honest lyrical content forward. Weather it be early original bands like Novocain Tongue, cover acts like Sweatin Bullets, rockabilly with Carl Bensen's Wildcats, playing guitar, mandolin, lap steel, and accordion on internationally celebrated and acclaimed "Neighborhood Noir" by West Michigan based The Lonesome Trailers, writing and recording with Dutch Henry, to his latest release "Midwest Blues" featuring Ashley Youngstrom and his band "the Desolation Angels", a relentless dedication to the song remains. The song is number one and will always has been for Merchant.
