Wrapping up the debut solo record of my very own songs with MIKE MARSHALL producing - recovering from an incredible Spring touring through Turkey, Israel, Spain, Morocco, France and Scotland - rolling with The STAIRWELL SISTERS and the man KEITH TERRY - and CALLING SQUARES! You know, doing the do...
I play old-time banjo and have for most of my life, same for clogging, then tap, then all manner of step dance, body percussion, and on. I write songs and sing them, call square dances that make alot of people easily happy. With all that know-how I stay afloat an artist here in and out of Oakland, California, a whole country away from birth in NYC. In between was Baltimore, Providence, Bloomington, IN, Chicago and Nigeria. I tour solo, with the Stairwell Sisters, all-gal old-time teardown, and my emerging Evil Diane. I also work alot with Keith Terry, my man, and the man behind Crosspulse, cross-cultural performance mixing all manner of rhythmic arts.
Finally getting off me arse with the new music... proud of my DVD - Buckdancing for Beginners, and the Stairwell Sisters' three CDs, especially our most recent - Get Off Your Money!
Here is some footage I shot in Nigeria when i heard banjo music coming from the gatekeepers hut! Finally got it onto the web...
