About Me

You can pick your mandolin and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends...mandolin's nose. - Bluegrass, jazz, gypsyjazz, gypsy, celtic, latin music, the music of India, choro folksingers......Decided i'd be a musician at five and began studying guitar at age 8 and mandolin soon followed. Now a days i play anything i can get tuned in fifths including a tenor guitar and 5 string electric mandolin made by Breedlove (Jason Bowerman) and a cello C tuned archtop guitar plus F5 mandolin made by John Sullivan.(I love a good instrument! wooo wee!) I compose music and write songs. I've long time performed as an instrumentalist but lately started performing my songwriting and vocals too. I've been so blessed as to have played and shared the stage with many amazing and renowned musicians along my way and have toured extensively with both ThaMuseMeant and TAARKA. Along with my wonderous life wife and musical partner Enion Pelta-Tiller i roam the strange music universe. - I now live in Lyons, Colorado
