About Me

I love writing songs, listening to a great song, recording a song that others may or may not think is great, and other things such as popcorn, golden leaves, the ocean, kundalini, my guitar, the internet, nuts, my man, birds flying all together, and apples. i hope my music resonates with a deep nerve in you the way some music does for me. please check back as i will be putting up new stuff shortly. also, if you come to a show please come and say hello.
