Artist picture
I am an independent musician, originally from Baton Rouge, LA, primarily playing rock laced with alternative country and blues. I don't try and limit myself to
"I am trying to see how far this rabbit hole takes me." The story of "me" began 29 years ago when my father was listening to Black Sabbath in the car on my way to be born. After I was born I moved outside of Baton Rouge, LA and relaxed for a few years, and began to really develop a taste for music, and became addicted to playing guitar. Throughout my teen years I was the lead singer, as well as guitarist for two alternative rocks bands that did well locally. After the whole "High School" thing was done, and graduation happened, I went to LSU (Louisiana State University) where I became active in a different type of rock than I had previously heard or played...true Indie Rock! I took the introduction to this form as a tool to put into my songwriting collection. After playing around Baton Rouge for a couple years, I joined the Army. Now you may be thinking, "Why?" Well, easy answer... I was bored. I was bored of the area I grew up in and wanted to experience more things. I am glad I joined the Army, well aside the obvious military service stuff, I got a chance to play with musicians all over the world and learn, absorb, as well as create music that crossed genre lines and blend together the styles I like. I was actually assigned to Army Entertainment Detachment for a year and worked as an Audio and Recording engineer based off my past musical accomplishments... not to bad for a guy who joined the Army to be a Medic. Recently I have been working on a solo project and my debut is in the works. I have released a couple singles that I have gotten great reviews on for musical style and songwriting. I said at the beginning if this bio that I am trying to see how far the rabbit hole goes, and that's what I plan to do...I have only just stepped inside and already it seems like a wild journey.

Story behind the song
The town I grew up with has a problem with people and their recreational pleasures, and with people getting out of the town. I wrote this song after I was gone for a few years, thinking about all the friends I still had there and the issues they have to face day in and day out.checkout www.jaimzwoodard.com my website, has a lot more stuff
