I recently finished working with legendary punker John Doe of the band X on a very interesting remake of the film noir classic D.O.A. directed by Kurt St. Thomas in Saint Augustine, Florida.

If you thought you heard me you might be right! Some of my music has recently been featured on:

Shameless episode 911: "Hobo on a Passenger Train"
Shameless episode 912 and Wayne episode 108: "How I Wish She Was Mine”

More songs coming soon on TV:
L.A.s Finest episode 106: “Heaven Can’t Save My Soul” (airs May 27 2019) Designated Survivor episode 308: “Damsel in Distress”
…and if you thought you saw me, you might be right! An indie feature film I starred in,The Grace of Jake, is currently in rotation on the Starz network.
Excited to announce the follow-up to 2017’s Sunnyside (Independent Music Award winner for Best Alt Country Album and Best Producer)… a brand new album coming out on Hi-Style Records in 2019!
We won two awards for the Jake La Botz Hi-Style Records release Sunnyside at the IMA's!
