Singer Poet Teacher Pagan Nerd

I've been a singer, guitarist, percussionist, and songwriter for Celtic-American folk rock band Emerald Rose since 1996; my major instrument for the band is the bodhran, or traditional Irish frame drum. Being a singer-songwriter, however, has been part of my musical life since I was a teenager, and my solo endeavors return to this root. Many of my songs take their inspiration from the mystical path, Earth-centered spirituality, and Celtic mythology. I also continue to sing songs from the Celtic and American folk traditions. In addition, I'm a storyteller, stage magician, and former actor and dancer, so I have many performance skills to draw on.

lyrics by Arthur Hinds

She Speaks
in candle bright and water deep
in the cry of an eagle or steady roebucks leap
She explains
in fading  shadows of the dawn
in dreams of the awakened with pretense gone
  Listen and know who she is
  Listen and know who she is

She whispers
through quickening burst of poem or song
through  opening vision, when  you first belonged
She also sings
in the pounding chant of the running mare
in  the eyes  of a mother, the creak of a rocking chair
 Listen and know who she is
 Listen and know who she is

By standing stone or backyard flame
Stare at the moon,  Sing out her name
You  will find  her  patiently  waiting, waiting  for you.
Close you eyes,  Still your mind
Open you heart,  Leave the world behind
Still the many voices till you  find the one thats true

She  teaches
in  lunar  riddles and mysteries
in  silence of the  mind and tidal ecstasies 
She speaks
to a heart empty and  broken
for  a crying  soul,  for dreams left unspoken
  Listen and know who she is
  Listen and know who she is
  Listen and know who she is
