I'm a singer/songwriter in the Woody Guthrie tradition. I write songs about my observations of the world we live in, and suggest ways to make it better. You should book me for your event because, although singer-songwriters are a dime a dozen, I offer the unique experience of time travel. When you listen to me sing my songs, you get the feeling of being somewhere very different in time, a trip to the past, but updated to the present. The songs, the issues are relevant to today, as if Woody Guthrie had come back to comment on issues in the 21st Century. I might make you uncomfortable with my messages, but that is precisely what we all NEED these days. We have become much too comfortable.

I am a singer, songwriter, guitar picker. I write my own songs, but if you really have a hankering to hear a cover song, I can sometimes accommodate that as well. I am an 'old school' folk artist, I usually include messages in my songs, sometimes subtle, sometimes, in-your-face. Of course, sometimes, I write songs for the fun of it, and seeing smiles on the faces of folks who just realized what a good time they're having. I've been playing off and on for most of my adult life. (There was a 30 yr lapse, while I raised my family, but I'm back full time, now.) My songs are what I believe in. My philosophies. My opinions. My feelings. A visit to one of my concerts is sometimes like a trip in a time machine, back to the 1960's, when everyone still cared about their fellow man. And yet, the songs address ideas and issues as current as, well, today. Of course, some ideas, such as compassion for your fellow man, are timeless. All-in-all, if you lived through the 1960's, it will take you back in time. And, if you didn't, well, now's your chance.
