Biografie
I am a vocalist, composer, guitarist, and songwriter. I am also a voice coach, a guitar teacher, a teen mentor, and a newly minted producer.
I studied opera singing from a very young age, and left that track in my early twenties to pursue a rock/folk career, as well as obtain a degree in biology. In recent years, I have been returning to my opera roots in all sorts of unexpected ways, first and foremost, in my teaching practice, but also in my music and collaborations with others. I have worked many, many jobs in the past 15 years- including, but not limited to, Fisheries Biologist for the State of Washington, trash hauler, whitewater kayak instructor and coach, guitar teacher at the EMP (Seattle's Rock and Roll Museum), barista, shop girl, and au pair. Since my move to Ithaca, NY in 2011, I have been lucky enough to patch together a variety of musical jobs to approximate some kind of living.
Since purchasing a vintage Stratocaster and deluxe reverb amplifier 5 years ago, I have dedicated most of my waking hours to playing electric guitar, and recently debuted a 50 minute solo guitar score for the 1932 classic film "The Blood of a Poet." Nothing makes me happier than t0 throw a few pedals in line and just make noise. I'll probably never be a great classic rocker, but I love finding new sounds and ways forward as a guitarist. I am deeply and forever inspired by Mary Halverson, Marc Ribot and Bill Frisell.
For much of my career, I was soley focused on making records and touring, but recently I've found a lot of joy in alternative paths. Recent projects have included: scoring silent films, producing several records for some notable young artists, and attending many a town hall meeting to let my congressman, Tom Reed (R), know how I feel about the state of things. I play with the Johnny Dowd band, Mary Lorson, and various combinations with Willie B, Jd Foster, and solo.
I am very lucky to be surrounded by a team I love- generous people across the world who take time from their lives to drive me (Jos!), host me (Paul! Yvonne! Alwin! All of you!!) and host events all around the planet. Everything else I do on my own. Come join me on this journey.
