I started using the name Broken Radio back in 1991 for a solo project. The song I recorded was called "Rain", which was released on the critically acclaimed vinyl only lo-fi compilation "Hausmusik". Wolfgang Petters, the founder of Hausmusik records helped me out on this and played lead guitar.
My main band in the nineties was a folk-rock group named Borrowed Tunes. We recorded two full length albums and a six song EP while touring Texas in 1997.
After the band broke up in 1998 I started experimenting with computers. Combining modern production techniques with traditional songwriting became the musical idea behind the project, that I named Broken Radio again.
The first song that resulted out of this concept was "Trouble", released on "Jimmy Gimmi More" a Hausmusik compilation from 1998. The following year "End Of The Road" came out on "Testbildreihe", another compilation album.
Over the years I kept on working on new material, mostly alt. country and blues. I had a bunch of good songs together which I recorded all by myself, using my home studio equipment here at Lost Creek (named after the street I live in).

Some of the stuff came out on compilations and featured songs like "Something To Live For" or "One Way Trip" The latter was released on "You Can’t Always Listen to Hausmusik" which also included my collaboration with Jersey, the song "No Honky Tonks Around Here".
After Hausmusik Records went out of business we established our own label Clickity-Clack Recordings and released the album High Fidelity in March 2010. While the musical style still ranges from alt.country to folk and blues the sound of roken Radio today is defined by wide arrangements, spiced up with catchy drum loops and electronic ornaments.
The ten original tracks on High Fidelity could be the soundtrack to a western movie happening any place between Broken Radio 's Bavarian Home and the Rio Grande. It's a sonic ride int a world of smoking guns, burning love and broken dreams.
Austin, TX guitarist Phil Hurd and long-time running mates Thomas Ganshorn and Axel Ludwig joined in for the recordings of High Fidelity.
