Biography

So here's the deal: I have two bio blurbs that I think are both pretty sweet; instead of having a huge internal struggle about which one to use, I'm just going to use both. Because I'm a rebel like that.

Here's the first one, a heartwarming story of awakening and discovery.

Here's the second one, an epic tale full of adventure, intrigue, and romance.

Enjoy!

Other Information

With all the writing I have on my Media page about how I believe the artistic process to be an eternal assembly line of-sorts, I thought I'd use this area to list a few of the songs I cover, which will hopefully draw an idea of where I think I fit in the musical continuum:

"Baby Blue," Bob Dylan
"Jewel Box," Jeff Buckley
"Redemption Song," Bob Marley
"Jolene," Ray Lamontagne
"One Man Guy," Louden Wainwright III
"Famous Blue Raincoat," Leonard Cohen
"The Drugs Don't Work," The Verve
"Boy with the Bubble Gun," Tom McRae
"Go or Go Ahead," Rufus Wainwright
"The Woman in You," Ben Harper
"What's Goin' On?," Marvin Gaye
"Halloween," Dave Matthews Band

All of these songs--and the artists who wrote them--have, of course, influenced me as a musician and by taking my own turn on them I hope to both contribute to and become a part of their meaning and history, as well as the lineage of the artists who've lain their mark upon them before I.
