I’ve found my bowed bass...

About Me

It all began when I was 10 on my parents aged piano in the country. Later, as I roamed from province to province, through one heart ache to the next adventure, I picked up a guitar and have been writing ever since. With a showcase at the Winnipeg Folk Fest. in 2005, the release of my first EP in 2006, forming and festival gigging with trio group Little Black Dress, continuing to add fantastic musicians and "spice up" my solo act... not gonna lie... I’m lovin’ this music thing more and more!
