Hello Friends.  

My influences today range from those early days of Robert Johnson; to Johnny Cash; to David Gilmore. Fueled with a dose of Floggy Molly, Tony Iommi, and Rage Against the Machine. 


Portland Folk Rag-grass with a Punk Rock Heart

The Lost Harvest is a dark long trip through a dusty highway with the devil watching in the shades and salvation waiting in some distant place. We play every night for those who had been in the darkest places and for those who left their soul there; for those who loved and wished dying for love, for those who have seen the dark during as much time they forgot the light, those who tried to cure their wounds with an old song, those that looked for us.

I'm a songwriter, guitarist, backing vocalist looking to connect and write with musicians in PDX.

All original tracks are written by myself except where noted.

There is also a combination of complete songs and instrumentals.

I have been a member and joint songwriter of numerous bands based in London (Noah, Monroe, and, Emma and the Fragments) and performed on both sides of the Atlantic, most recently with PDX band Cocoa Venus.
