Sounds Like
Honest, heartfelt folk. In the tradition of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Woody Guthrie, I am a performing songwriter, singing songs about life, love, and politics. A strong voice, a solid guitar strum, and some good old folk harmonica.
I've always loved Dylan, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, and Harry Chapin. I dig Woody Guthrie, the Kinks, Johnny Cash, Beck, Townes Van Zandt, and Devandra Banhart a lot, too. With their help, I've been able to find a voice. My voice. Where I profess my love, vent my anger, and have some fun. I play harmonica and sing over chords and rhythms I find walking down the street or along the water. My songs are simple, not shallow. Inspired by the poetry of train whistles and street traffic.
I've performed in shows with Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets, the incomparable Alejandro Escovedo, the mighty Stephen Malkmus, Bob Mould, the English Beat, Pat McGee, and Jimmy Gnecco among others.
