New recording of a 90's composition. Digging into the layers of who we are and how we come to know it. Having the help of my lovely Jeanne in doing that, and in some strategic and welcome vocal help from her on this new recording.

Lots of good, and hopefully different, music here. I'm rooted in rock that's informed by influences like Kurt Rosenwinkel, John McLaughlin, Keith Jarrett, Weather Report, and Pat Metheny. Huge impact from Todd Rundgren, Neil Finn, XTC, the Island Records stable circa 1968-74 (Traffic, Free, Fairport Convention, etc.); and 70's prog-rock from Yes, King Crimson, Soft Machine, and Mike Oldfield. This all filters into what you'll hear from me.
