Hi all, I am a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, singer, backing vocalist, studio session musician and live performer. Myself and some friends started in 1998 and by 2001 we had a little Bluegrass group called Rusted Skeleton. We embarked on our own careers after some years and I played gigs as a solo artist. I occasionally play with a skiffle group for fun. I miss having a live band with me where we could share ideas and opinions and improvise together. Besides the normal instruments I play, I promised myself, if I don't know how to play an instrument, I will figure it out untill I can.

Mom
Mom Track number: 2 Year: 2017 Genre: Acoustic
A cover I made of "Mom". A song I heard for the first time when I saw Bonnie Tyler in concert and later on I heard Garth Brooks's version.
