ABOUT

I'm a musically-intuitive green guitar player fortississimo baritone/tenor ex-holy roller church pianist sometimes-songwriter with deep soul & native blood in my rhythm.

I have difficulty writing songs. They either fall right in my lap or completely elude me. I have a decent amount of solid original material, but I am interested in collaborating with other musicians in the songwriting process through jamming, improv, or whatever sounds and feels good.
