Influences
Everything I hear is an influence, but my primary genres have been classic rock of the 60s, 70's, and 80's, classical music, a capella vocal music, mash ups, and Christian music. I've been working as Director of Music for area churches conducting choirs, handbell choirs, and praise bands for over 30 years and that has had a big influence on my style and performance. I'm a huge fan of lush vocal harmonies and original arrangements that have some unexpected twists.
