I'm a singer songwriter levitating between Seattle and Bellingham WA, and have a band called Big Sur that I put most of my concentration on... However, I play quite a bit on my own, between singer/songwriter slams at the Green Frog and solo showcases. I'm obsessed with Townes Van Zandt, Nick Drake and Mississippi John Hurt, and write songs about murders and girls and whiskey and pills and Indians and the ocean. I'm a large bearded man and love pretty much everything and want to hug the world a little bit too hard, which is often awkward for everyone. My friends 4 year old daughter Gracie told me "You're not a grownup, you're a train." That makes me happy.
