[FULL BIO]
The older I get the more sure I am that I don’t know much for sure at all. But what I do know tends to be about the thorny parts of being alive…the burdens we carry and the pains we nurse that influence how we interact with the world, that we generally don’t talk about. Me, I wanna talk about ‘em. Because that’s how we find out we’re not alone.
And hang on a minute…before you think I only play sad songs and gaze out rain-streaked window panes…I also wanna talk about the little flame we each carry…the hope that we might see one another clearly. Maybe we can generate a spark of connection, and then breathe in that fleeting moment we share. When I make music, that’s what I’m about. Singing songs about our lives. Meeting you there. And through the mystery of it, hopefully we’ll all feel a little bit more known.
I’m an Americana singer-songwriter inspired by the likes of the Pauls (Simon and McCartney), Bob Dylan, and Tom Petty. Contemporary influences who wow me are Phoebe Bridgers, Jason Isbell, and Leif Vollebekk. I released an album in 2024, some singles in 2025, and have more songs in the hopper for 2026. Come to a show and hear a little bit of everything…a musical meandering through a kaleidoscope of originals and covers.
