About Me

Thanks for stopping by my tiny piece of the internet! I'm a guitarist and sometime singer who grew up in Montana and Wyoming. I primarily play Scottish, Irish and American traditional music, but I try to write my own tunes on occasion as well. I'm currently studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, and have just become a film scoring major after spending a good deal of time studying arranging, production, songwriting and performance. Hopefully I'll figure out a path for myself in the next couple of years.
'Your Sweet Company' and 'Supermarket Grapefruit' are original compositions. 'Jenny Pluck Pears' and 'Fisherman's Lilt' are traditional tunes with variations arranged by Allan Alexander; 'The South Wind' is a traditional tune arranged by John Renbourn.
Thanks for giving my songs a listen. I hope to have some new ones up soon, so please stop by again.
