I’m a songwriter/musician/singer… I also have a fondness for spinning a mean omelet for friends after a night of wine and debauchery (pronounced with a slurred Manchester accent) - good times. I’ve had the pleasure, pain, and everything in between over the years, of writing and creating with a few gifted artists, bonded by the love of melodic pop music and the buzz in writing something worth repeating. These experiences have lead me to share a stage with Echo and the Bunnymen, Toad The Wet Sprocket, They Might Be Giants, and many other amazing bands, too many to name. But it is the studio that I find myself drawn to. In this environment colors become more vivid, melodies and emotions more intense. Yeah, I know, sounds like I’m smoking right now, which wouldn’t be entirely true/false/true/false/true/false. So, for the most part, I’m a solo artist these days. Did I say solo artist? I’m also flying solo these days, which has opened the door to new and let’s say, umm…very inspired moments.
Bend Your Ear is a collection of songs written and recorded after relocating to the bay area. A rotating cast of characters contribute their special flavors to an otherwise solo effort. The song "Don't Leave the Girl" was featured on the Sleep Over episode of the highly-rated CBS drama Cold Case. The songs "Jesus and Me" and "Driver" are featured on the soundtrack to the surf film, "The Union Blue Project". It was a choice opportunity to team with Surf Cinematographer, Don King, whose work is captured on the ABC series "Lost", and in such films as "Blue Crush", "Castaway", "Die Another Day", "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle", “Step Into Liquidâ€, “Riding Giantsâ€, and “City of Angels". The soundtrack includes: Jack Johnson, God Smack, Agent 51, Buck Wild, Powderfinger, Hot Hot Heat, and some guy named Erik Broms. Don’s work speaks for itself, and he also happens to be an amazing and inspiring human being.
So, I am always a lover and pursuer of the moments and bits in life that result in beautiful collisions…you know who you are…
