ACT OF SURRENDER EP AVAILABLE NOW!

About Me


NEW SONG ON INDIEHEAVEN! The only place you can hear my new song "Talk About Love" is on the "TOP 20" chart on INDIEHEAVEN . Please click this link and go there now to VOTE for me (rate it 5 STARS once each day, if you please...). Your votes magically make it move UP the chart... So even though it's not exactly saving rain forests or rescuing drowning puppies, you CAN make a difference. Please VOTE by clicking 5 stars for my song "Talk About Love" ...
Hey everyone, thanks for visiting my page... I won't pretend that someone else is writing this (what's the point of a MySpace page that's run by my management?). I try to reply to every message (but there's really not always enough time). So please forgive me if I'm not always super great about getting back with y'all. That said, it has been cool to reconnect with some old friends and make some new ones...
I have a couple new CDs coming out in 2008. The first is an EP called "Act of Surrender" (AVAILABLE NOW!) that features a few new tunes and two other songs from a previous project that never got a real release. One of 'em is a really fun arrangement of "Eleanor Rigby" that has been a part of my shows for a few years... The next CD, "Clouds And Fire" will be out in July...
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll leave me a comment and check back soon!
