Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I am a New Jersey native, although I have lived in many areas around the country. I was subjected to opera and given guitar lessons at a young age and I played guitar a little when I was a teen. I have been writing poetry and lyrics for as long as I can remember. It was not until about 4 years ago that I picked up the guitar again and decided to do more with it. A few lessons later I put some lyrics to music and my first full song was born. That was "Touch", which is on the CD "Dredging Up Daisies" It has been about a year now that I've been playing out professionally as a soloist and I am loving every minute of it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play out anywhere from 1-3 times a week. It is always fun and I have enjoyed some wonderful audiences who have really inspired me.
During one show I broke three strings and everyone forgave me...that was before I had the extra guitar...that was an improvisational evening
