I've been working with someone to update my website! Giving it a fresh look, more adapted to mobile devices, and a newer backdrop photo. Original photo taken by Kate Stanton with pop art edits by me! Not quite finished yet, but here's hoping you enjoy the new design and ... drum roll ... you can now purchase downloads direct from the site :) Check out the music page!! 

Another year has flown by! This new year finds me updating my website (stay tuned!) and writing new music, along with some local performances. May your days be bright! 

I'm a bit delayed in sharing this, but the Eclectic Music Lover site ran a wonderful and thorough article after the release of my last single! Part review, part bio on my music journey, Jeff did a fabulous job representing my music! Read Here!!

Excited that my three latest singles (Dragonfly, Just Another Casualty of Love, and Yellow Bird) were all accepted on Pond5! This means that they are available for people to license for use in various media projects! My Artist Page!! 

Yellow Bird is a sweet new song just released in December 2021. Inspired by the visit of a real little goldfinch to my office window, it became a metaphor for hearing the voice of God in our busy daily lives. Paired with simple thumbprint bird art (made by yours truly) in the video, hope you'll take time to watch! Please subscribe while on my channel :) I'd love that!! 

YELLOW BIRD

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!
