Over the last few years, I've finished quite a few songs. I'm really liking the direction my songwritting is heading partly due to the recent/accidental discovery of an alternative open D tuning! I'll be moving to Duluth soon and hope to get together with some good people and perform my songs around the city. I'm making a bunch of demo cd's with a lot of the songs that were played when I was a guest on kaxe's weekly show featuring Mn musicians, "Centerstage Minnesota" to give away. As of now, they will be available at Brewed Awakenings in Grand Rapids MN. I'm hoping that by just giving my music away right now, in the recorded shape my songs are in, it will attract future financial contributors, when I finish my first studio album.(it'll be about $10) If you really want to give me money, find a way to get ahold of me, or send canned foods, guitar strings, coffee, cat food...(etc.) to my mailbox. But for now, my music is a gift for you....my story.....the conversion of my soul's perception of this life- to music. Thanks for listening. Burn the shit out of these cd's give them to whoever you feel like. Also, feel free to check out the pics on this website. I like to be out in the woods and sometimes I get lucky and catch some pretty cool things happening!
