Album Notes

Biography

Welcome and thanks for visiting.

"...Lemme 'splain. No, lemme sum up..." (name the movie) My songs may have a folksy feel, but don't be fooled: the stories are more often than not dark, sardonic, and rated NC-17. I loathe political correctness. I believe in Alvie Singer's world view that there are two groups of people, the miserable and the horrible. The horrible are people who have Guinea Worm Disease or people who live in famine-stricken lands, etc. The miserable are the rest of us, so....be happy that you're just miserable! Now, all of that said, I'm having a helluva lot of fun playing music and lots of folks are having fun singing along. I think it's fair to say that cheery, optimistic, sunny, gleeful people won't want to listen to my stuff. So, I guess if one of those words describes you or your audience, you'll probably want to pass on by. Stylistically, along with the occasional Neil Young twang in my voice or Merle Haggard strum, you'll hear hints of the Violent Femmes, the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Warren Zevon, Elvis Costello and The Cramps throughout my stuff.

I've been playing to audiences for 25 years. This past year, however, has been somewhat of a renaissance for me. I bagged a 20 year career in education (I'm a spry 45) and am moving forward with my music. It's about time. Please check out my links, tunes, etc....And thanks again for stopping by!
