I am a performing songwriter. My attempt to post the songs I can gives them a chance to be heard on the internet. I write them to connect myself to my journey and to life as i observe it around me...I hope they resonate with you and/or your life in some way. Thanks for visiting my site and or listening.

Hey Studly!! A quick Holiday Party update!!. This Friday, December 26th, we are playing at a public party being hosted by Papa Mike at La Cantina in Birch Bay. La Cantina is a restaurant and bar located in the middle of Birch Bay at 7678 Birch Bay Drive. The show will start about 8:00 PM. There is no cover charge and it is sure to be the biggest party Birch Bay has seen this year. I hope you can come and bring friends. It is gonna be a serious blast
Hey, bro!! Thanks for the add!! I hope things are going great for you. Just to let you know, we played this past Friday and Saturday at Poppe's in Bellingham. Both nights, we rocked out to a packed house. Our friends even made an impromptu dance floor. No doubt, it was the best two party nights Poppe’s has seen all year! I will let you know the next public gig we do and hopefully, you can come!
Also, maybe we could do a gig together sometime. That would be great!!!!
