Wild Rose (demo)

Shades of gospel, shades of grunge, but at the heart of my music are well-crafted, intensely felt songs brought to life on acoustic instruments. As the Ottawa Folk Festival put it, '"He brings to his tunes the poet's love of beauty, the journalist's attention to the telling detail, the theologian's continual struggle to describe the ineffable."
