Remembered for his Songs: Ohia music project, which he later renamed Magnolia Electric Co., this indie rock and alternative country singer and songwriter released over a dozen recordings with the band, including Impala (1998); Ghost Tropic (2000); and Fading Trails (2006). After studying at Oberlin College, he worked as a Cleveland-based heavy metal bassist before releasing his debut Songs: Ohia single, "Nor Cease Thou Never Now," in 1996.
