Bio

I am a solo artist singing vocals and playing acoustic guitar and harmonica.  I play Americana and classic rock, and I am critically acclaimed in both.  I also write music and I have written about 160 songs in four years.  Some of those songs have won Best Country.Folk awards and were #1 hit songs five times.  The hits were not Billboard hits, they were on internet radio.

My favorite artists are the Beatles and I also play a Beatles Tribute, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Bob Dylan (or Zimmerman if you wish), just to name a few.  I can convert almost any song to Americana and Beth from Jerome Promotions once told me that I do the best Americana she has ever heard.  She called it "real and organic."  I felt like a plant.

I started playing guitar and vocals when I was 10 years old.  The first song I ever played on stage before about 1,000 people was "This Land Is Your Land" and I have been a Woody fan ever since.  I play that song correctly.  I still play that song.  I also played in churches as part of the original folk mass movement for about 30 years on and off.

And I receive tons of complements for my vocals.  After a church gig one fan told me that I sing like Burl Ives.  I laughed and told him that I'm going to sing "Frosty the Snowman" from now on.  But Burl Ives was a great folk singer so I was flattered.  A fan once told me I give him chills when I sing and one told me I give him goosebumps.  Even in church people turn around to tell me what a great singer I am.  Sometimes I get a little embarrassed.

So that's it.  That's what I do.  Please check out my songs and thank you so much for reading this.  Be sure to listen to Wild Horses.  I am the best vocalist.
