I am a songwriter & guitarist working out of my home studio in beautiful Boulder Creek, California. My arrangements use a mix of voice, acoustic and electric guitars, bass and drums, along with the occasional mandolin, bouzouki, or keyboard part. As far as describing my music, I can't do any better than Dave Alvin (one of my musical heroes): “There are two types of folk music: quiet folk music and loud folk music. I play both.” I like sad stories and a sadder melody, the sound of a Martin acoustic, a Stratocaster through a Deluxe Reverb amplifier, a mandolin, fiddle or lap steel, and a noisy rhythm section. I don't consciously choose what I write about in my songs, but follow wherever the words want to go.
