Hello music lovers. Thanks for visiting my page. I hope you'll find something here that makes you want to listen again, or that makes you see the world differently. Or, better still, something that makes you want to buy several copies of my forthcoming CD when it's released. And maybe a pizza.
But enough about you. I play acoustic folk music and straight-ahead jazz. Kind of a strange mix, but they both pay so well. I came to Nashville because I heard that's where the songwriters are, and it's true--they're everywhere. Literally. And they're kind of messy, if you want to know the truth. But, hey, it's all good. (Not really; people just say that a lot here.)
Anyway, you can find me performing at various venues in and around Nashville, and also on the road sometimes. Please come to a gig and let me know that you found me on MySpace. Now about that pizza . . . .

Yo Kent. One more 'thank you' for playing for me at my Bluebird audition. You are officially in my rolodex. Don't you feel privileged? ;-) lol You rock...
Mister Kent, It was good to see you at Saturday's gig. As usual, you were kooky and zany and your playing, as always, was magnificent. It was a lot of fun...a bottomless font of groovosity! Thanks so much for doing it. That weather was just nutty, though, huh?
