  • Bio

    I grew up on the Iron Range in northern MN, but moved to Duluth when I was just turning 16. I now live in Minneapolis, MN. I have been playing music here roughly since 1990. I sang jazz in a band called The Strawdogs for much of the 1990's. That band shortly became the Hothead Fiasco, but that's another story. These two bands released about 4 albums. During this time I also started playing and writing with the incredible multi-instrumentalist Eric Christopher who is now of the bluegrass fame The High 48's. We had a band called Marina Glass, and then became the Minor Planets. We released an album in the year 2000. In 2004 I released my first solo record, Ox. Currently I am working on the next solo record. .. ..........
