ABOUT

New album out Dec 2020. Collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Stephen M Smith from Tennessee. Gospel Blue is our project name and "Settle Down" is album name. Blues, RnB, Alt rock styles of music. Fun. Fun. Fun. I also recently wrote, produced, and performed music in a “world” style studio album entitled DYAD with Rachel Lillian..

Plz listen to all + enjoy some videos at riverhousemusic dot com
Also music videos on YT at "Songs from the Riverhouse" channel

No cover bands. :-)
I enjoy working with keyboard players and/or guitarists strong in styles of blues, gospel, jazz, avante garde and improvisational styles; would be open to form a duo/trio to perform out and write/record albums. I also enjoy conceptual and performance art style projects with music and other graphics/mixed media/dance.

I performed professionally as a living for 11 years, playing clubs with cover bands and originals, as well as doing voice-overs and studio work. Did some musical soundtracks for professional art gallery exhibits. Quit the performing and raised kids and other creative things.
