I am a Toronto, Canada-based singer, songwriter and guitar player. Inspired by the folk greats of the Seventies such as Tim Buckley, John Martyn, Sandy Denny and Nick Drake, I write psychedelic folk songs that you may enjoy if you have a taste for ambient tunes.
Born in the UK and brought to Canada at a young age, I got my semi-pro start in music at the tender age of eighteen playing in a rock band called Sleepwalkers Union. After many years with that group, I went solo for two years and demoed a number of songs before joining 70s-style glam rock group Crash Kelly CLICKHERE in 2002. My love of Seventies music being all-encompassing, I greatly enjoyed playing that style of music, but I have never forgotten my musical first love, the mixture of folk and progressive music that helped define the decade I was born in.
You can listen to and download my music for free on LAST.FM if you CLICKHERE or The Internet Archive-

Judgement at Midnight is now officially the most downloaded tune from the some bizzare double album on iTunes.(and all other download sites including beatport, amazon mp3 etc etc)
Also - Gary Lucas has come out to show his political support - and guess who it is...check youtube.com for 'THE DUTELS' (Gary Lucas)
So If you havn't grabbed your copy or download already - make sure you check it out....please email us with regards your thoughts...
