"The Companions have been tasked to find the most powerful artifact in the world. The clock is ticking... all of the worlds depends on it. 

Off the Beaten Path is an adventure musical like no other. A tale of magic, sword fights, dungeon crawls and treasure, we follow an eclectic band of adventurers on their quest, “Don’t call it a quest, quest!” to find the Amulet of Khatara. 

Off the Beaten Path pays homage to all of the fantasy franchises that have come before it. From Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Choose Your Own Adventure, to World of Warcraft, Skyrim and Dungeons and Dragons, this Easter egg laden musical has it all."

Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer with 30 years' experience. I write for all media, symphonic instruments, solo guitar, electronica, jazz/rock/soul. I've performed around the world and have scored for film, television and radio.
