Lost Hills

About Me

I grew up in the Southern Sierras. I've travelled all around by the backroads and found a few songs here and there. All roads lead to other roads, and eventually you can find yourself back home where people know your name and the air smells like it's supposed to. There's an old dog sleeping under the porch and a couple of Red Tails circling overhead. Get youself a beer while I tune up my guitar....
I play at Cafes and Coffee Houses and at small town Fairs, Festivals, Arts and Crafts Shows and Environmental Events around the Southern Sierra, Central Valley and Central Coast region of California, and occasionally play in Los Angeles and Orange County. I usually play solo, but I sometimes put together an acoustic band. I play my own songs about love, death and wandering in the wilderness most of the time, and I also do a Woody Guthrie dust bowl ballads show that is always well received.
I have a home recorded album on CD Baby, and you can check it out here:
Put Them Ghosts To Sleep
Moon Of The Wild Rose, live at Dan's, in Kernville, California, 6/6/06.

I have a few live performance videos up, recorded at various venues where I've played. Just click the My Videos tab under my profile pic if you would like to check them out.
And there is always something new at the
Lost Hills Youtube Channel.
