Album Notes

I am a Seattle based singer/songwriter. I perform regularly in and around the Seattle area. My audiences range in age from college adults to "boomers". My influences are 60/70's rock, The Beatles, The Byrds, The Who and the music they were influenced by Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, Elvis. More recently I have incorporated more traditional country in my performances, i.e. Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, and Hank Snow.

The music I play encourages the audience to sing along, and creates a cheerful, familiar atmosphere that keeps the crowds listening, enjoying, and staying for more.

My original works are an effort to resolve or express my emotions. Music has always been a way for me to understand relationships and feel connections to others. Through the ups and downs, loss and triumphs, no mater where I go "my friends" have always been there maybe not so much in flesh, but always in a song.

I play guitar and sing, occasionally I play Harmonica, banjo, and mandolin.
