About Me

I am a singer-songwriter, musician, engineer, and aspiring producer. As a musician I play guitar, keyboards, bass, autoharp as well as a little bit of leads and fills on harmonica, mandolin and mandola, tenor and 6 string banjo, ukulele, and oh, of course, cowbell ; ). As an engineer, I have more than sixteen years experience with live sound reinforcement, audio and video production, production management, as well as computer display and technical support. All of these songs are produced and recorded by me at my home project studio. Drums are arranged from pre-recorded samples while all other instruments are played by me unless noted. Composition and arrangement are all mine as well. If you are a producer, engineer, composer, arranger, etc. and have any constructive suggestions, please drop a note to my inbox as I am always looking to learn. I have played guitar a little since I was 12. I played bass in high school and college and track my own in the studio. 3 years ago I began to teach myself keyboard (mostly piano and organ). The other instruments I merely dabble with, but they add some nuance and distinction to recordings. Enjoy!

New Song!

The new song on my player is a demo I recorded last week in a hotel room in California... I wrote the song with my friend Amy Suzanne that past week while I was out for a visit.
