Bio
I am from the planet Canada. I grew up near Toronto. Some say I still haven't grown up. Everybody's heard of Toronto. So that makes it easy. Now I live in the USA. It's a long story. I play the guitar and I write music. When I think about it, I write mostly 4 types of music…
1) Eclectic rock music - The biz might call it alternative. I think my music is an alternative to alternative. But that doesn't tell you anything about it. You just have to listen. You can do that here.
2) Country Influenced Rock - You can't live in the USA without country influences seeping into your skin, kinda like tobacco smoke. I seem to write country songs when I'm not even trying to. Damn.
3) Solo guitar music - Influenced by flamenco, bluegrass, classical guitar, and guys like Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges (R.I.P.), Tommy Emmanuel and others. You can download the sheet music in both notation and tab (visit the evolving "store" page).
4) Jazz-Latin-Funk-Fusion (or something like it) - Isn't jazz dead? Like poetry? No, almost, but no, still breathing. But it keeps changing, as it should. It was once like pop music in America. Everybody listened to it. It was on the AM Radio. People went to clubs and danced to it. Rock and Roll almost killed it. It retreated to little clubs in the big cities and to the music departments of the universities. That's a shame. 'Cause Art Blakey said "Music washes away the dust of everyday life", and he was right. If you are new to jazz, and use Pandora, check out my station Jazz That Anyone Can Enjoy
