I do mostly acoustic folk music as well as some celtic music. I value well-crafted songs, with solid lyrics and a good melody line. Musicality - harmonies, interesting guitar work - draws me into a song, so I try to bring these qualities into my own music.

THE LATEST:
My new CD "Now It's Time" will be released on August 31, 2008! Check it out at my website. I'm quite proud of it and honored to have worked with some of the best folk musicians in Chicago!
************************************
A new interview is now up on the Chicago Acoustic Underground. Host Michael Teach has made it his mission to promote local Chicago musicians. I had a great time working with Michael. Check out the interview!
************************************
I have put up an EP on SoundAid. I hope you will consider going over to their site and making a donation to Heifer International. In return, you can download my or many artists' music. Music to save lives - a pretty good deal, don't you think?
************************************
-The Sound Aid Project is up and running! Take a few minutes to head over to the site, and consider downloading an EP or the "Best Of" CD. A number of fantastic musicians have donated their works to the project, and 100% of the proceeds goes to the Heifer Foundation. Every EP you buy helps to save the life of another.

Why this name?
Nothing mysterious there...
Do you play live?
I do play live gigs and enjoy doing so. There's something special about reaching an audience live and getting that immediate feedback.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It opens up all kinds of possibilities for unsigned, independent musicians. There are so many of us who might not get their music out there without the accessibility of mp3s and the internet.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not something I'm even thinking about at the moment...
Your influences?
Joni Mitchell, Dougie MacLean, Steve Goodman, Jim Malcolm, Jennifer Armstrong, The Weavers, Bruce Cockburn, Holly Near, Mark Dvorak
Favorite spot?
Old Field Point, on a small river off the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland
Equipment used:
Mostly a Taylor acoustic guitar and a Garrison acoustic/electric, plus at times, a Fender mandolin, a bowed psaltry, a fiddle and a bodhran.
