Bio: CONVERSATIONS was built from the very things of its title... the communications that comprise our lives. Urbana, Ohio..s self-proclaimed underdogs, SMALL TOWN SLEEPER, have been listening to all your conversations...and they aren’t holding back the details.

Recorded at Electric Lady Studios in NYC with producer/mixer Ken Lewis, then traveling to London, England to record the vocals and on to Capitol studios in L.A. to have strings recorded by legendary arranger/conductor David Campbell (Goo Goo Dolls/Train/Bon Jovi). "The entire process of making this record was a bit strange," says Troy. "As an artist, you basically spend your entire life trying to take things to the next level, but the funny thing is that you end up working so hard that when you get there, it is a total shock. I mean, you wake up one day and head out to practice in a garage...then the next week you find yourself at the famed Electric Lady Studios with artists like Ryan Adams, J-Lo and Gwen Stefani in the next room, or down the hall."
