Aloha, and thanks for stopping by.   

I am a seasoned, professional singer and guitarist.  I love to perform at pretty much anywhere, but mostly COFFEEHOUSES, ASSISTED LIVING FACILITES, WEDDINGS, CORPORATE EVENTS, PRIVATE PARTIES, TEAHOUSES, FESTIVALS, and CHILDREN'S PARTIES.  I am blessed with a 3 1/2 octave, clear and beautiful voice -- I emulated Judy Collins as a young teen.

I have been influenced and inspired by all genres of music.  I've been playing and singing most of my life.  I like to watch the reaction on people's faces when I tell them "I play everything from Victorian to Punk" (this is true, by the way).  I perform music from the 1880's to 1920's, classic standards from the 30's and 40's, music of the 50's and 60's, traditional and eclectic folk, blues, classic rock, classic country, Christmas music, love songs, wedding standards and, of course, my own original compositions.  I offer an eclectic selection of music, and I'm always learning new songs for each event.

I have been influenced and inspired by all genres of great music, but my passion and unique specialty is re-arranging Post-romantic (Victorian) era Parlour Music (1880-1915), taking the old and making it anew. (Listen to Fairy Visions, Morning in the Orchard, Dreamy Kid, The Brook, and The Silent Moon is Beaming on my music page.)

My first and very artistic CD, COSMIC SUMMER SOJOURN (which you can purchase right here on this site, is my debut CD.  This timeless music has been hailed as "beautiful", "serenely enchanting", "soothing and sensual", "magical", "mesmerizing" and "haunting". I like to think of it as "Maxfield Parrish for the ears." Or think Judy Collins meets Incredible String Band with Nick Drake floating around in the background.) Interestingly, I have been compared to Jane Siberry (see Reviews).

I am working on a second CD, MY BLUE SKIN. It will feature more mainstream style music -- a few ballads (one jazzy), some different instruments (ukulele and harmonica along with the guitar). I will arrange and produce the CD, recording all instruments in the peace of my home recording studio. For now, you can hear one song, Why Don't I Know You? on my music page. (Be sure to read the story about the song.)

Thank you for visiting, looking around and listening to my music.  I hope you enjoy.  Be sure to check my calendar for upcoming shows and come see me!

Peace through Music,
May all Living Beings Find Perfect Peace and Lasting Happiness,
