The guy locally known as Hippyhead wandered into the Louisville music scene as a songwriting guitarist and performer. Performing at open mics and eventually on smaller shows throughout the city. Later he became a member of the HSAOK where he was given the opportunity to share the stage with many talented musicians. Hippy realized what he could do to help with the local music scene. Set up shows with all genres of local bands and so began Hippyhead Showcase in the Fall of 2008. After years of Showcasing Locals, a radio DJ opportunity opened with WCHQ-fm where he produced a show dedicated solely to local music with live band performances broadcast on station and youtube known as Hippyhead Spotlight. This ran for 6 years until he moved the show to LRS102.com to DJ different format shows and set up showcases at local venues.

Musically, Hippyhead is in a band with Kelly Newton known as The Crosswalks performing locally and regionally.
