who are you?
I was born in a small, rural Canadian town. When I was ten my mother gave me a guitar and I wrote a song the very same day. I feel my whole life has been a musical journey. Everywhere I have gone I have met extraordinary people and written songs about them. Especially the people and the memories of my fleeting homes in Wolfville, Vancouver and Miami. I have played solo multiple times at such venues as The Horseshoe Tavern, Lee's Palace, The Drake Hotel, El Mocambo, Free Times Cafe, The Opera House, The Vogue Theatre and The Rivoli. I would love to play for seas of people. I want to build a life solely around music. what do you do? I like to get down at gigs, play full out, get high on it all, sing about my secrets and express myself with amazing people. why do you do it? In the end, when we die we are all going to be remembered by what we shared on this earth. What we shared in our daily conversation, actions and expressions about who we are and what we stand for.
