About Me

Hello there. So, I’ve been working on songs for a new release, initially due out this spring...which is here already. Lofty goals on that one. Well, the big plan now is to have a new record finished for the fall. The show schedule is a bit light right now but I promise to get out across the country and over the seas as soon as I can. I am so grateful for all the support thus far and look forward to the upcoming year, with a bunch of new tunes to share.
OK, it’s time to get back at it and put the finishing touches on these songs. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, drop me a note; send me mail, say hello, and come out to a show. I’ll try to get some demos up when they begin to materialize. Cheers
