About Me

I write music. I play accordion, piano and a bunch of other stuff. I am in the Claudia Quintet (John Hollenbeck's band). Sometimes I play with Shivaree, Laura Cantrell, Oren Bloedow & Jennifer Charles, and a few other people. I really like to write for films when people let me.I used to play with Anthony Braxton, David Krakauer, Roberto Rodriguez, Slavic Soul Party, and a lot of other people.Some of these songs are excerpts of long pieces from my new record. Some are unreleased tracks I thought might be interesting for people to hear.Other info: I was born in Aroostook County, Maine and did in fact live on a bean farm.If you really want to know more, I've been writing a blog at:Surviving The Crunch
