Songwriter and singing multi-instrumentalist (guitar is my main instrument) with usually a few projects working at once.
Mostly influenced by American-esque popular music from the 20s to the 80s.
Looking for country/bluegrass/honkytonk instrumentalists and vocalists for my main project.
Looking for a female or male vocalist who plays guitar, banjo, dobro, or mandolin for a Carter-style country-folk trio project.
Looking to establish a regular bi-weekly session of structured improv on the Americana catalog. Any instrumentalist or vocalists are welcome.
The posted songs are from my current major project called, "The Madness of King Saul" which is a double-album structured loosely around Homer's Odyssey. The first three are transitional pieces; the fourth is the final track on the album. The album is currently being recorded and mixed solo in my studio in Long Island City.
