About Me

I graduated from Earlham College in Indiana with degrees in Spanish and Music. After completing the Third Stream program at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, I moved to San Francisco in 1994 and composed and performed for dance companies and in bands. San Francisco dance companies included The Kook Troupe, Vau de Vire Society and Rapt. San Francisco bands included Shawna Virago and the Nightshades, Angela Valley, J.Tonal, Whirr and The Bastard Brothers. Since April of 2005, I've been living in Berlin, Germany and tour regularly, performing on vocals, dobro guitar and banjo with The Beez (www.thebeez.de / www.myspace.com/thebeezband). In Berlin, I've also had the pleasure of working with Louise Gold and with Goodbye Wavers.
