About Me

My newest song, "Wishing Well," at the Starry Plough. Thanks to Slim and his Opem Mic Documentary Project for the footage."Church of Headin' On My Way" at an open mic - sorry the quality isn't so good

"Old Crow Blues" at an open mic

My favorite...Shawn Colvin

If I'm ever one percent as cool as Elizabeth Cotten, I can die happy.
