My music has many faces - Rock; Blues; Country; Folk; Celtic and Latin. It speaks about who I am, what I believe in and the things that make me laugh. 

​

I have been influenced by many artists such as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, and Bonnie Raitt, as well as many independent artists I have heard over the years. These musicians have inspired me and keep my personal songwriting candles burning. 

​

I truly love my audiences and I strive to engage them and touch them in a fundamental way with my performances. I want them to walk away with the feeling that they have had a good time and have truly been entertained.

​

My performances are very much about an emotional attachment to my audience. Otherwise, a musician might just as well be entertaining himself at home in his studio. And while I love my studio very much, it is not the same as a live engagement. Performance is not a singular thing - it is an all encompassing social occasion for everyone involved in the event. An audience provides me with energy. 

​

So, in an evening of performance my purpose is to touch you, inspire you, laugh with you and encompass us all in a great time. 

​

A variety of percussion instruments accompany me to my gigs and the purpose of those is to invite my audience to be my 'back-up' band. And it is always amazing to see the enjoyment achieved by the rhythmic involvement of everyone, young and old alike. I have done this repeatedly since the start of my performing career, and it appears to be catching on.
