Influences
old-time mountain music knee to knee in the dark in the middle of the night - the pulsing roll of early hip hop highschool cafeteria - steamy square dances and late night honky tonk - Tiv village funeral slow and old and oh so low - pacing on the busstop in Baltimore - riding the subway in NYC - riding my bicycle everywhere - riding the Greyhound - everyone that passed through the house - muddy barefoot festivals - choruses - ozark singers - texas roots music - ithaca roots music - bloominton roots music - asheville roots music - portland roots music - oakland roots music.
Wrapping up the debut solo record of my very own songs with MIKE MARSHALL producing - recovering from an incredible Spring touring through Turkey, Israel, Spain, Morocco, France and Scotland - rolling with The STAIRWELL SISTERS and the man KEITH TERRY - and CALLING SQUARES! You know, doing the do...
I play old-time banjo and have for most of my life, same for clogging, then tap, then all manner of step dance, body percussion, and on. I write songs and sing them, call square dances that make alot of people easily happy. With all that know-how I stay afloat an artist here in and out of Oakland, California, a whole country away from birth in NYC. In between was Baltimore, Providence, Bloomington, IN, Chicago and Nigeria. I tour solo, with the Stairwell Sisters, all-gal old-time teardown, and my emerging Evil Diane. I also work alot with Keith Terry, my man, and the man behind Crosspulse, cross-cultural performance mixing all manner of rhythmic arts.
Finally getting off me arse with the new music... proud of my DVD - Buckdancing for Beginners, and the Stairwell Sisters' three CDs, especially our most recent - Get Off Your Money!
Here is some footage I shot in Nigeria when i heard banjo music coming from the gatekeepers hut! Finally got it onto the web...
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
