I am a singer/song writer originally from Virginia. I call my genre "Sidewalk Rock": a blend of Appalachian style vocals, East Indian and Hip-hop rhythms in a Nirvana-unplugged delivery.

I sing and play acoustic guitar and harmonica. My band mate, Roblyn Crawford is currently on snare, hi-hats and backing vocals. If we find a drummer, she will move to acoustic bass. If we find a bassist, she'll stay on drum.

We play rockin' funny songs about quitting your job and why The Apocalypse is gonna be a good time. The stage banter and audience heckling are half the show! We are an environmentalist act that engages the audience in controversial topics and rewards their participation with humor.

We he have toured the U.S. for the last four years and drive a VW bus that runs on salvaged vegetable oil.

We have shared the bill with international acts like Calexico, The Handsome Family, The Melvins and Marshall Crenshaw.

Primarily street performers, we also enjoy playing intimate venues: lounges, coffehouses, festivals and house concerts.
Our first New Zealand Tour in 2006-2007 was an inspiring success. We plan to return there regularly, as I hold dual citizenship in New Zealand.
