About Me

I started playing guitar when I was 13. Ten years later (I'm a slow learner) I joined a band with a couple of friends. IW Harper enjoyed a short life in the early seventies, playing in bars throughout New England. I then played solo off and on for another year or so, then got married, had a family, and spent the last 20+ years watching my kids grow up. With the kids grown now, I decided to get back into performing again on a small scale. Currently, I attend a couple of open mics a week and I'm hoping to record some of my songs soon.
