About Me

Here's a video of my performance on the "Matt McClure Live" show (taped November 1st, 2007). Matt's show airs every Thursday at 7:00pm (Pacific Time) on www.operator11.com so check it out! (If you want to skip right to my performance, it starts about half-way through, but I do suggest at some point watching the interview with actor Paul Diaz, as he performs a couple of his improv characters and it's really quite funny):
Maryland born & raised singer-songwriter, with catchy, warm, intimate pop-folk-blues melodies. "...fiery, sultry, sweet and sticky, almost like a hot August night," says Music Connection's Bob Leggett.

Attn: Fellow Musicians
If you wish to add me as a friend, please message me first. Take a minute to actually listen to the tunes, comment on my style, whatever, because otherwise, the request will be denied. I'm just tired of adding 20 bands per day who use that auto-adder-thingee, and who never actually contact me. It's no bueno. Thanks!
