HOWDY!

5/21/10

& Hi Folks! I have had my head in the books for the last several months working on 3 projects: Songs for a new album with an old school soul vibe, gigging with Irish singer Colleen Raney and my latest obsession, Brazilian choro music with my new trio The Brazillionaires. I am finally starting to book shows to show off the fruits of my labor. Hope to see you at a show soon! Thanks for stopping by!
