About Me

Ottawa. Open mics hosted by John Carroll every Tuesday at The Laff (Chateau Laurier House) in the Byward Market. I'm also going to a gig at Zaphod Beeblebrox, also in Byward Market. A group named Epyllion (a new MySpace friend) is playing. Walking the streets, getting to know the lay of the land here, no guitar or equipment yet (it will take a while to catch up with me), but working on some pieces in my head. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you'll listen to the songs and drop me a line.
For info about my sordid past, see the blog.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 02/06/2007
Band Members: Singer/songwriter
Influences: There are so many great artists, famous and obscure, that I admire and who inspire me, and a list of them would be ridiculously long, from a-z, Bryan Adams to Frank Zappa. But at this point in time I'd say the greatest influence for me is the poetic, story-telling, folk tradition. I enjoy the freedom and depth and down to earth realism of it. Even in fantasy the allegory comes back around to nature and the human spirit and condition. The artists who haunt me the most when I'm trying to write or develop an idea are Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and John Lennon.

In late January I was up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep, poured a glass of wine to dull the edge.  I had to work the next day but ever since I started this site the 'About the Artist' part...
