I am currently based in California. My musical journey began at a young age listening to my father sing and play guitar in his country band. Later that passion for music lead to becoming a drummer in my father’s band. We played several years performing at local events throughout Southern California. I later learned to play the tin whistle and bodhrán due to my love of Celtic music. (No, I’m not real good but I enjoy it!)
My musical influences are vast as I love all genre of music. Immediate influences are Eric Clapton, Patsy Cline, Mary Black, The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Roberta Flack, Michael Buble and one of my favorite rock groups, The Scorpions. I am very fond of Celtic music with its enchanting sound and the smooth vocals of R&B. I don’t believe in being stereotyped or limited to any single genre. Always been a rebel…
2024 proved to be another journey, collaborating with the very talented, Deby Kelley. With mechanical rights for lyrics and our own original music composition, we recorded the classic song, The Rose, which offers a fusion of Celtic/Folk/Americana, something you don’t normally hear.
Deby and I are currently working on additional songs with plans for an album of mixed genre.
I plan to continue to travel and sing wherever I go. Enjoy what you do, reach for the stars and never give up, life is too short…
