I'm a multi-instrumentalist and a composer. I enjoy playing and writing in many styles: celtic, ambient, jazz/rock, and new age (mostly piano). Some pieces are composed or arranged, others are improvised.

After playing in various rock, country, and Irish bands for over 20 years, I've returned to my roots and started writing and recording at home. I'm a multi-instrumentalist - guitar, lap steel, keyboards, drums, penny whistle, and violin. At one time or another I've also played viola, mandolin, Irish button accordion, concertina, uilleann pipes, and pedal steel guitar.

A demo of a tune from my upcoming CD is featured on a new McDonald's website (http://www.imlovinitlate.com/) that will benefit the Ronald McDonald House. The tune, "The Old Stone Bridge," is available as a free download, but your donation is appreciated. This is a great cause, so please extend your support...

'Stray Onto the Path' is available on CDBaby.com
