I play guitar, sing, and write music and lyrics. My music and performance style was long ago classified by a friend as “Enthusiastic Acoustic” and by another friend as “speed Folk”. While it is very often upbeat and fervent, I do also have a softer, quieter more serene side. Sometimes I approach my acoustic guitar like it were an electric and sometimes I approach my electric guitar like it were an acoustic. Sometimes I approach the guitar like it were a drum or a dulcimer and sometimes I play the guitar and the hand drums at the same time. At all times, I hope my music becomes an extension of myself and who I am as a citizen of the universe and how I can connect with my surrounding and the others around me. Often times I view my songs as attempts to figure out how I belong in this world, what my story is and how my existence can be meaningful. A great many of my songs are about people I’ve known whose existence has been meaningful to me.
