Snappy Jazz

I am a poet, drummer and singer from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I've lived and performed internationally in places such as Korea, the U.A.E., Mongolia and Brunei where I also taught English. Now living back in my hometown of Charlottetown I am putting down roots and bringing my music which I've recorded and performed over the last 30 or so years back to Canada. These songs have been recorded with musicians I've met and played with over the years, some from PEI and East Coast Canada, and others from around the world. Before living overseas I made my living as a busker for a few years. I hope you enjoy listening to these tunes as much as I enjoyed making them and continue to enjoy performing them.
