Thanks for dropping by. Stick around and listen to a tune or two. You’ll find a selection of music that I’m connected to (in one way or another). Leave a comment if you like, good or bad ………..... hopefully good ;-)

   I truly play my instruments, write my own songs, really sing my songs and have an interest in other real singer/songwriters. I don't rely on AI computer software to create my music because I write it myself. It may not appeal to all but I can honestly say it is my own work. My latest Album "Caught In A Moment" released June 20, 2020 along with new video for "Trying To Breathe" released on June 17, 2020. Checkout the link below. 

   Just a simple singer/song writer here that has a great passion for song writing and really singing my songs. Enjoy spending my time in my studio in the mountains of California where my guitar whales through the night with a string snapping now and then. Spend my summers at my home in the mountains and my winters in southern California. At one time I had a regular gig in San Francisco where the people were actually able to watch me perform my songs and purchase my work. 

   I now love to play at small gatherings. No, I don't need to bring my computer along for it to perform instead of me. Love to take my guitar to the beach and sit on the sand and sing to the ocean. Or sit out on my deck and sing to nature. Love to have friends at my home to play or write a song together as we sit out on a warm summer evening.

Named a top 100 SXSW Artist by NPR Music, Twin Cities based Collapsing Stars have been steadily making a name for themselves throughout the American west. Blending folk, blues and Americana sounds with beautifully interlaced cello and vocal harmonies, comparisons range from Iron & Wine and the Lumineers, to Nick Drake and early Bon Iver. In the last few years they’ve earned producer credits on a record for Rhymesayers Entertainment, played a showcase at the renowned Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles and performed for over 120K people at Red Bull Crashed Ice. Their debut record titled ‘2012’ received critical acclaim including praise from Dan Wilson, the Semisonic frontman who has co-written songs for the Dixie Chicks, John Legend, Weezer, and Adele’s 2011 hit Someone Like You. They were named a top 100 SXSW artist by NPR Music out of 2000 showcasing acts, and in response to pandemic related touring restrictions, venue closures and cancellations in 2020 and 2021, the group launched a new web series titled Forest Folk Sessions – intimate acoustic performances in a breathtaking natural setting. Featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered, their sophomore album “Chapter” is out now!
