Bridgton, Maine

I am a songwriter. I am not a musician; I am not a performer. I write dark folk and Americana songs about freedom, connection, and memories. My passion is the words & the message. Words have power. Words have meaning. My songs describe ordinary people trying to hold onto something human in a collapsing world. First Chair begins a larger narrative that continues through each of the songs on the album. I was born in a small Appalachian mountain town. I guess you could say that Appalachia is in my blood. It’s also reflected in the musical style that I enjoy and resonate with. My songs aren’t meant to become big pop hits. I am fully aware that my songs will definitely not be popular with the masses. That’s fine by me. I guess you could say that I write songs for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. I write songs for the courageous. I write songs for those people determined to persevere. I write songs for those who will stand firm against darkness.
