Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard 'Pioneering Women of Bluegrass: The Definitive Edition' out on October 21, 2022 on CD and digital, and available for pre-order now.

The soaring harmonies and driving string-band sound of Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard shattered the glass ceiling of male-dominated bluegrass in the 1960s. Hazel and Alice’s influence on music – and not just roots music – is hard to overstate. They’ve been acknowledged by artists as diverse as country superstars Naomi and Wynonna Judd, champion flat-picker Molly Tuttle, and proto-feminist punk rocker Kathleen Hanna. Their steadfast devotion to their own hard-hitting style inspired generations of women in bluegrass.

The Definitive Pioneering Women of Bluegrass

Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard - Childish Love

'Imagination Becomes Reality' A Jazz Fusion Track inspired by how the title reads really. If we can imagine something then it can become real. The important question is, What is imagination and what is reality? Are they both "real"?  An age old question, which can only be answered by an inner search.
The piece is shared with the " very real and very imaginative" playing of Wind Master, Georg Boehme, whom I can't thank enough for being involved with me on this musical journey.
 Wind Instrument List: Bass Clarinet/Baritone Sax/Tenor Sax/Alto Sax/Soprano Sax.
Drums & Parcussion: Superior Drummer 3
Basses: Spectrasonics Trilian 
Keys: Arturia/Native Instruments
Mix: DAW - Steinberg Cubase 12
