I'm a solo recording artist, long-time songwriter, musician, and audio engineer, trying to use the power of music to raise awareness and inspire others to make a positive difference, with their life and through their Art.
Over the past ten years or so, I have completed and self-released five solo albums, and am working on another one.
My style is mostly Classic Protest Folk-Rock. I tend to address what I consider to be the larger themes of our existence, rather than writing from a first-person or fictional perspective, or writing about partying, fast cars, girls, etc. (of course, there is a place for those things, but there are plenty of songs like that already, yes?)
Although I have worked with many "big names" and Grammy winners as a live-sound engineer, I write, play, and record all my original music by myself, for better or worse. Thanks for listening.

I have played in many bands over the years, some of them mine, with varying degrees of success. My main performance instrument is the Drums. After playing literally thousands of gigs, these days, when not mixing live sound, or mastering projects, I prefer to write and record in my studio.
The usual suspects: Dylan, Lennon, Neil Young, Jackson Brown, Phil Ochs, Joni, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, The Beatles, Steve Earle, and others who use their music to try and effect a positive change in the world.

I truly believe we as Artists have a responsibility to use our talents to try to improve the situation for all living beings on this planet, not just for mere entertainment.
