My music is an eerie, organic blend of stories and brainchildren.
It's sincere, jazzy, bluesy, bluegrassy, and human.
It might even be entrancing.
I've got a smooth and well-trained voice, and a unique style of guitar-playing that usually stems from pure experimentation.
My songs are all original. I'm not a huge fan of covers, but I'm sure I'd enjoy them much more if I had some other musicians enjoying them with me. Even then, I always seem to pick obscure ones that nobody really knows. But I'm open.
I'm simply looking for musicians to play with. I would love accompaniment on my songs, to collaborate in songwriting, and maybe to play your songs. At home, in the studio, outside, at cafes, at bars, on street corners, at stadiums, festivals. Whatever we want, right? Is your heart an artist?
