so glad you are here
New concerts posted! New music on the site!
I'm looking for some inspiration.  Send me your thoughts, ideas and i may just write them into a song.

Keep on keepin' on.  Sometimes when doors close it makes you look at the opportunites right in front of you.  This August, Jeremiah Lowry and i recorded our own "soundtrack" of The Last Five Years.  Hear some of that music here. . . now!

i am also lucky enough to be a part of the fireswallow project.  check it out at www.fireswallow.com 
WE ARE FOR ART.

thanks for visiting my site.  here you can get a feel for what kind of work i do and my voice. 

happy hours, parties, festivals, weddings, you name it.  I'll sing it.  just give me a mic and a piano and i'm ready.  ok, i can bring my own too!  together with my accompanist extraordinaire, Gordy Wilson, i can do anything. (except spell.  I had to look that one up to make sure.)  i accompany for myself too. . . take a listen.

my daughters' wisdom: "Grandma would like old fashioned things, because she is old, and they would remind her of her oldness."
" Nobody likes stinging owwies."
