Me, me... and (oh so sad) me.
Plus a number of musician friends who are willing to drive to other cities to play for peanuts and good times.
Influences
Words and conversations that move me... which tend to be inspired by a friend's story, a thoughtful book, a great conversation, scripture, poetry or even an old hymn. More recent inspirations include the value of family, community, justice, humanity and hope.
Sounds Like
Who wants to sound like someone else?
But then again, I don't get offended when told my music reminds them of Sarah McLachlan or Sara Groves...
I'm honoured that you've come, that you'd take the time to read about my story as you give a listen...
Like many others, I picked up a guitar during my teen years and learned just enough chords to begin pouring my inner world into songs. These days I write and perform mostly at the piano (what I was trained on), but I also pick up a djembe any chance I get. I'm thinking the dulcimer might be a fun next instrument. Anyone got one that's collecting dust?
In truth, most of my music remained behind closed doors until a few years ago when some friends in the music business gave me a kick in the pants (along with a good dose of encouragement). Invaluable.
Recording "If Everything is Lost" (2005) began a new chapter for me. Writing music had always been an outlet for me personally -- a way of journaling and worshipping and coping -- and now I feel really honoured that this music that has been a gift in my life is being so well received by others. It seems those who find my music most meaningful are often in a difficult season of life. So I increasingly find myself writing "sustaining music" (a term I borrowed from Steve Bell) for friends whose stories move me. Some I have met, others have faces I've yet to know.
After writing songs for the milestone events of friends for about fifteen years, I'll soon be launching a songwriting service for folks who would love a custom song written for a special event in their lives. More on that to come...
Thanks for joining me on part of the journey. Travel well.
