8/11/18 It's only taken me a whole bunch of years as a performer to realize that folks may have trouble pronouncing my name. It is one of those that if you hear it you will spell it wrong and if you see it you will say it wrong. All that said, it is my name so, here's an audio clip of how to pronounce it.

Here's the Latest
7/10/24
I had a little delay getting the video from Afterlife but it is coming. Getting ready for Finny's on the Towpath this week. I'm getting pretty good response to my promotion so it should be good show.
Speaking of these public shows, they are all custom efforts. A touring act gets to fine tune a show and take it to new audience every night. Because I'm not playing often or far between I generally see quite a few of the same folks. I don't mind. It's like a house party for friends and I like to keep it fresh. Besides the audience I have to consider the venues. What gear should bring? What is the “vibe” of the place?
I'll be playing my first show at Sense by the Falls. This is a unique and truly beautiful space. Lots of art objects for viewing and sale.
Don't forget, on 8/16 I will be returning to the Afterlife. These are very special shows because I get to play some of my edgier and electric songs.
I could still use more shows in “listening” venues. I have a lot of songs, both original and cover that are worthy of a deep listen.
As always, I'm seeking bookings to play for all kinds of folks in 2024. Find out where I will be on the “Calendar” page.
Just a reminder, I did Project D.R.E.W. with my dear friend Gretchen last year. Here's the page with our song, "Just the Rain". Project D.R.E.W.
