Artist Information

Biography

I'm a singer-songwriter, originally from New York City and now living in Connecticut. One of my claims to fame is that I was the lead singer for the Rolling Stone Magazine house band in 1979. I've been singing for as long as I can remember. I still love to perform, but songwriting is my passion now. My first CD, "A Spirited Mother", started as a collection of lullabies and became my effort to capture the feeling of authenticity for my daughter.

My new CD has been described as mixture of "Cause" and "Just Because" music. Fun love songs mixed with songs about autism, adoption, and surviving cancer. It's a journey that has aimed for the higher ground, but which has sometimes run me through the weeds. I've struggled to be faithful to what is True, even when the light of consciousness flashes painfully bright.

"In Broad Daylight" was released in August 2008.
