Singer/songwriter, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, arranger, and recording engineer. Record releases by IRL Records & Otter River Records.
I currently perform as a solo artist and singer/songwriter. All of my recordings were recorded, mixed, and produced from start to finish in my home studio. My original songs are somewhat eclectic but I would generally categorize them as a fusion of rock, blues, folk/country, funk, and jazz.

Lyrics
(Intro) No, no, no! Not in my name! (VS 1) Too long you have deceived me, lied right to my face Stirred up discontentment – set race against race You trample on humanity, inflict torture and pain No longer will you do it! No, not in my name! You say we are defending freedom in the world But we are not defending by killing boys & girls Compassionate humanity knows it’s just not right To stand against one’s brother & pick any kind of fight (CHORUS) Oh no, not in my name will you wage another war So corporate masters ruthlessly prosper From our humanity – that’s unjust and insane I must pledge my resistance – NO! Not in my name! (Repeat Intro) (VS 2) I’m a patriot of America born upon her soil And I say no more bloodshed to benefit Big Oil I must pledge my resistance to any government Sacrificing human life – with torturous intent The time has come to stand up before it’s too damn late The power of the people is the power that is great We cannot put a price tag on civil liberties Or else the freedoms we hold dear will no longer be Repeat Chorus & Intro
