Here is a singer/songwriter who writes stories about you and me and the guy down the street. He writes about disturbing social issues as well as exploration of self worth. Throw in some comical lyrics about real-life situations, et, voila!
I was in a few cover bands back in the day, but put it aside to raise a family, and work like a dog. I taught bluegrass banjo and fingerstyle guitar in the "off time". I picked up performing again in April of 2005, and I've been having a ball. I've also been writing a ton of tunes, some that actually don't sound bad. Who knows what the heck triggered that. The first CD, One Of Them Nights, was released in October of 2006, and it was followed up by Live at FFMS, Could You Forgive?, Pere Noel and Shady Stories & White Lies, a 2010 release. I am currently working on Celticism, my first celtic album, scheduled for release on St. Patty's Day, 2011.
I play all the instruments in my tunes. They include 6 and 12 string acoustic guitar, 5 string banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, harp (OK, harmonica), bass guitar, ukulele and piano. I'm also learning the tin whistle, if I could only find a way to attach strings to it.
