Welcome to my Soundclick page! I am a singer-songwriter from Saint Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A. The sound files linked on this page are my compositions. I recorded them myself on a digital workstation in my house. I am interested in soliciting feedback from the people who stumble upon them. Thanks for stopping by.
I started writing lyrics when I was 12, picked up guitar at age 16 so I could put music with my words. Starting playing in bars when I was 19, and here we are today...
I play with a classic rock cover band called Funkwire. We experience the usual trials and tribulations associated with working in bars, but the three guys I work with are good people to hang out and play with. We have fun, play some good music, and make some extra scratch. It's all good...
Too many to list, really...but (deep breath) Beatles Stones Who Louis Armstrong Creedence Ray Charles Elvis Costello Duke Ellington Eric Clapton Booker T & the MGs Otis Redding Billie Holiday Frank Sinatra Jimi Hendrix Hank Williams SENIOR Roy Orbison Steely Dan B.B. King Van Morrison...
