Dear Friends,
Welcome! I’m honored that you’ve stopped by.
Those of you who are familiar with the music that Kathy and I have written for kids and families… welcome! I think you’ll find a familiar spirit here… though it’s dressed up a bit differently.
This music is the result of an unquenchable desire to have the magic that is music inhabit my life.
Since I sat on the edge of my bed in 5th grade teaching myself to play my brother’s Harmony guitar I have been involved in the mysterious interplay between what we musicians are given to hear in our heads & hearts, and the act of bringing it into this world.
On Soul Man in A Techno World I have been given to hear some wonderful new things and been privileged to work with my dear friend and fellow musical madman, John Guth, to bring it into being. The arrangements run from “rich” to “smokin’” and the songs, well, they have this way of resonating with the best in us. By clicking on “SoulMan…” you can sample some of the tunes or under “About the Recording” follow the trail that led to the writing of each song.
For those of you who haven’t already experienced Free Falling, my previous recording, most people will tell you it’s worth the price of admission just for the first song, Hold Me Tonight. After that it’s all gravy with a collection of scat tunes, love ballads, and songs of the heart and soul that allow me to flex my vocal chops in a way that I can only hint at in our children’s music. You can do the same song-tasting here with clips from Free Falling and likewise find out how these songs came into being or were picked for this recording.
At anytime you can check my touring schedule, add yourself to my email list, check out the recordings in the store, or if you’re interested head over to the children’s/family music side to see what all the hoopla and awards are about.
Thanks for coming… happy exploring!
