I was born and raised in Anchorage, AK, and currently reside in the Pacific Northwest. I’m not sure if there’s a connection between a lifetime spent slogging through long, dark, freezing winters and writing melancholy folk-flavored music, but that’s my story, and it’s probably too late to change now. I’ve been writing, performing, and releasing music for over fifteen years, sometimes as a part of several collaborative efforts, and most frequently as a solo artist.
Starting with Stateside in 2003, I released three full-length records and an EP as a solo artist, and, particularly during the period of 2004-2006, toured just about non-stop promoting them.
On the road and at home I’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stage with such artists as David Mead, Josh Rouse, Kelly Joe Phelps, Dan Bern, Michelle Malone, Carbon Leaf, Rose Polenzani, David Garza, Magnolia Electric Co., Patrick Sweany, Pierce Pettis, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Sarah Lee Guthrie, and Kevn Kinney of Drivin’ and Cryin’.
My fourth independent release as a solo artist, Big Picture Blues, was released as a digital LP in the last days of 2010, and can be found on my official web site as a free download.
