Artist picture
Ive written hundreds of songs over the past 40 years. I love Jesus, the word of God, people and music. I play guitar, bass and sing. Thank you for listening!
My music is about the new life found in Jesus Christ. He is our access to the Father and is worthy of all praise and glory. He has taken our sins away by the selfless sacrifice of His death upon the cross. He is deserving of songs and worship. The sound of my music is influenced by the delta blues and artists that have followed through the 60s and 70s who have taken this music and written folk, Americana, and Rock n Roll. Thank you for listening to my songs, and also the collaboration projects, thank you to all who contributed to these songs..

Story behind the song
The Tree Of Life is the tree in the garden that was always mysterious to me when I read the story in the book of Genesis. As I read of the cross and how Jesus died for all our sins upon that tree it makes me think of the parallel and how this tree in Genesis was prepared beforehand for a very special purpose and only one man, the man with no sin, Gods Son, was the One and only one who could bare the sins of the whole world in this selfless act of mercy and make a way for all of us, namely all who would accept this gift of love and put all their trust in Christ and what He did to clear a way to fellowship and eternal life with the Father through Jesus the Son, The Tree Of Life.
