Foothills & Strings
Road & Suitcase Years
Dark Night & Relapse
Backyard Sanctuary
Guitar in hand at eight, Alan's story began in the heart of the Appalachian mountains, steeped in roots music.
Leaving school at fifteen, two decades on the road with outlaw clubs, marked by the weight of addiction.
Even in ministry, old demons returned, plunging him into despair, testing the limits of faith.
Persistent grace led him home to family, music with The Lovesick Drifters, and a quiet haven.
Worn Frets, Heavy Shadows
For twenty years, Alan lived out of a suitcase, navigating the raw edges of the music world and the company of outlaw motorcycle clubs. The journey was marked by heavy shadows, addiction, and a relentless search for something more.
Grace finds you in the dark, not after you've cleaned your history.
His testimony proves that even in the deepest despair, the grip of grace holds firm. Redemption is not earned, but given, reaching into the unvarnished places of life.
His unvarnished story, from Appalachia to redemption, awaits.
