About Me

I sing. I write. I sing what I write. I search for nifty melodies that perk up the ears and I try to keep things simple so that people can hum along. My shows usually consist of me sitting behind my massive Roland, adjusting the mic way too much, and offering the audience a part of me: some songs about life and love and the heartache and joy that are always along for the ride. My "witty" onstage banter sometimes makes me cringe, but since I consider my audience my friends, I figure they'll forgive me. My voice is my weapon. My songs are my bandaids. I hope people who give me a listen will find some solace or forgiveness or permission or whatever they need--perhaps a hopeful cry in a dark night or a shout for joy.
