ABOUT

Singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, looking to jam/create/collaborate with talented folks. I don’t plan on quitting my day job in the near future, but I am a committed musician of 30+ years who played semi-professionally for a good chunk of my adult life before moving on to a more stable source of income.

Currently interested in playing some mixture of Americana, Folk Rock, and Alternative. I have experience playing “classical” (piano and guitar — I’m more into the Romantic and Impressionism periods than Classical or Baroque), jazz (guitar), and country (guitar), and so I like to incorporate elements of these styles in my original works.
