So honored to be part oft this art project! I was one of 50 Springfield residents who wrote an essay of our experiences in 2020. Photographer Ty Fischer took our photos (one with, one without a mask) then choosing select words from our essays and overlaid them to become part of our portraits. There will be a display in downtown Springfield October 1-31 with an opening night speech / kick off at Hatch Studios 3rd floor on Friday evening October 1st!! 5:30 - 9 pm.

Who's excited about live music returning this summer?! 

Just added another date to the schedule, so check out the calendar page!!

Hope to see you!!

Saturday April 3rd I will be playing acoustic music at the April Sidewalk Sale in downtown Dayton OH!

First gig of this new year post covid shutdowns! I'll be playing 1 pm - 3 pm near the St. Clair Lofts!  :)

A new song written, recorded, produced and performed by yours truly! "Just Another Casualty of Love" was officially released March 1st! This new tune adds a bit of percussion and a touch of lead acoustic to the mix. An upbeat song on love gone awry! https://youtu.be/-ERHesSwpk4

My last live gig of 2020 was on March 6th and the weeks & months that followed with the virus pandemic have brought cancellation after cancellation. While I miss playing for all of you in person, I respect the decisions of venues out of concern for all of our safety! Be careful out there ~ Keep the music in your heart!  

Excited to be part of Dayton's Art in the City 2020! Due to social distancing restrictions this will be an all virtual event!.

Many, many artists of various artistic mediums are busy preparing material for you to watch from the comfort of home on August 8th!

Performances, instructional and informative videos, displays of art works, plus ways to participate in creative pursuits of your own! 

Watch my website calendar for more details! 

Gigs continue to be cancelled by the venues due to gathering and social distancing restrictions. 

I will keep my calendar updated as things unfold ... please check the schedule before heading out to a show! 

(I miss you!!)

To go with these crazy times,  the duo Every Lovely Thing has released a new song called Crazymaker!!

This is a more rock vibe than usual for us, as we vent our emotions over people who love to stir up drama!! 

Available on Bandcamp and Noisetrade  Video on YouTube 

As we share in these crazy times together, please check my schedule before heading out to a live show - as they may end up being cancelled due to our current stay-at-home policies. On a brighter note, I am still able to make music from home, so watch for the new solo acoustic song "Dragonfly"coming out April 2nd!!

Several artists were asked by fellow musician Kyle Walz to send video clips for his new video.

The song is called "Missing" and the video premiered on February 6th! Kyle used several of my clips.

Special thanks to Kate Stanton who shot the video footage of me. You can watch the video here!
