I'm a performing songwriter from the East Coast. I love reveling in great music, art, friendship, solitude, travel, poetry and the entire pain-staking, love-making wonder of creativity. Influences?? To me it's all about connection....My hope is to instill a fusion of sound and verbiage that will give you pause to take notice, and ponder with a smile......
Of course if you don't buy any of this fluff, just know that I want to make good music and have the chance to share it with you.
