Cleared out in anticipation of new material.

folk/filk singer songwriter, award-winning science fiction writer, freelance journalist

Award winning audio engineer & producer with over 500 records engineered and hundreds of live shows mixed, many of them recorded. 
I've been working professionally since the 70's and I've worked almost every technology ever made, and a lot of different styles of music.
I don't have a fixed sound to my work, though some have described it as British and European.  I listen to the artist's ideas and bring out what's there, and integrate all the ideas into a coherent whole which communicates.  I bring an objectivity to the table also.
I am known for the following:
* Reaching into the music and ideas of the artist; 
* Making it easy for the artist to create and communicate;
* Bringing aesthetic and technical knowledge with objectivity; 
* Translating the subjective into reality;

Recent projects include: 
Mackshow, John M, Arise Roots, Daniel Bernath, Ryan Eglash, Ryan Adams, Pangea, Jeannette Baker, Izzy Chait, Nelsen Adelard, Michael Oosten, Liam & Iraj.
Additional credits include:
The Aggrolites, Sanddollar Sound, Fleetwood Mac, The Cramps, Alex Chilton, Van Duren, Pinetop Perkins, Eddie Kirkland, Diego Verdauger & Amanda Miguel, Ana Victoria, James Cotton, Christine Ohlman, Nick Waterhouse, Andrew Loog Oldham, Steppenwolf, etc. etc.

I'm a Jazz vocalist, pianist and composer living in Austin Texas. I am extremely fortunate to be working with some of the best musicians in the world! When I'm not teaching voice in town or playing with my band in the few choice clubs that have jazz in Austin I'm playing in other major cities around the U.S. and on those wonderful rare occasions across Europe. I also sing with the Austin based Latin Jazz group, GATO6. I have 6 different c.d.s out (most recently Viewpoint records and Aardvark Records) and I'm almost finished with the tracks for a c.d. of all my own original compositions to be released in early December on Bus Biscuit Records. I have performed with, recorded with and or collaborated on compositions as lyricist with: Denny Zeitlin, David Friesin, Joshua Redman, Joe Henderson, Peggy Stern, Randy Porter, Doug Hall, Graham Lear, John Stowell, Mal Waldron to name a few.  I feel so fortunate to be doing what I love to do for a living, and only wish I could be doing more of it! 

A songwriter who enjoys what hes doing, got together with my friend Dave Balam and we decided to put out some original music. I play guitars and sing, write and compose. Dave is an excellent musician, producer,
