About Me


I've been playing since I was 12, starting with the fiddle (violin). I play 5 or 6 instruments and released my first solo CD several years ago. I will release another soon. Or at least some singles. Please buy my debut CD (and listen to previews) at CD Baby , I will be grateful and also slightly more wealthy. It has 12 songs, some of which you can hear for free right here. Thanks for dropping by! -B
