New & Used Bottleneck Blues, Saw & Washboard

About Me


You can view some live footage on YouTube of me playing "51 Highway Blues" at Conor Byrne's Pub in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. I was invited by the Blue Healers to sit in and play a set at their cd release party. I was a guest artist on their new release, "Shake You Down" playing the horn leads with my musical saw of an old Otis Spann number called, "My Love Will Never Die."

Check out these websites too!
My EZ Folk website has the largest collection of my music posted online. Currently, I have 36 songs posted there. You can listen to streams of it all at this site and I have much more that I will be adding. They offer an unlimited amount of space to upload songs and info and the best part is, it's all free! If you like what you've heard here at MySpace do check out the offerings at my EZ Folk site.

These next two sites are mirror sites and contain nearly all the same info, lots of photos, the lyrics to my songs, past calendars, song streams, biographical info, discography, and more. The Geocitiessite will torture you with a few ad windows. If you're easily frustrated by such, check out the Freewebs site.

Here's a new site that I've recently joined called OurStage. In April of 2008 one of my songs, "These Old Shoes" won a contest at this site. It was voted the number one pick of 402 entries in a competition to win an opportunity to play the famed Newport Folk Festival. Over 13,000 folks listened to my song in April. I must be doing something right. Go here to vote for my songs and win prizes as a judge.
