Influences: Well, its hard to nail down exactly which of the many musical artists that have inspired me in wiritng and performing. I think I've probably drawn from the humor in Sarah Slean's lyrics, as well as the comfort that there is another 'girl with a piano instead of a guitar' out there. I listen to Tori Amos and appricate that her music is linear, the stories don't always fit together into nice little packages. I am encouraged by the simplicty of the work done by Ani Difranco and Cat Power, somtimes less is more. Jazz artists like Dinah Washington have given me permission to experiement with non traditional song stucture (not every song Has to have a chorus) and chord progression... And Ron Sexsmith reminds me that people still enjoy being sung softly to sleep....
