Thanks for stopping by in your search for music. I have posted a few of the songs off of my first CD titled “The Summit Ridge Session.” Feel free to leave a comment, ask a question or simply slide through undetected.

I have spent a life time listening to some of the most amazing singer songwriters in the world. I don’t care much for what passes on the radio for music these days, but I do spend a lot of time looking for what I consider to be great writers. Back in the day the question wasn’t, “Are they any good?” The question was, “What do they have to say?” I think today the foremost question is, “What do they sound like?” which misses the entire point of making roots music. A friend once told me, “People won’t remember what they hear, they will remember how you made them feel.”

I am influenced by great storytellers; Verlon Thompson, Guy Clark, Amos Lee, Steve Earl, Roger Miller, Tom T Hall, David McMillan, David Hearne. There are really too many to name, and I can think of many more, but I hope you get the picture.


I hope you enjoy what you hear. If not, check back in a few weeks and we’ll see if I have added anything to the mix.
