Band Members: Since I am WAY too eclectic for my own good, I try to play in lots of genre with lots of varied and talented musicians... ___ I am mostly known for my 12-string fingerstyle approach to the guitar (DETROIT MUSIC AWARDS 1999 & 2000 _ I am in the Michigan Touring Artists Guide (see link) & Give workshops in songwriting & lyric building (poetics) ______ ____ I try to maintain a solo gig schedule in addition to these bands:

My band Plum Street is an original music songwriters project that is garage rocky in a 1960s creative spirit. We hardly ever play out, but we can rock out and bring some fun everywhere we play.
