Bio
I am based near Austin, TX, with annual tours in the North East or other parts of the country. I perform solo, with The Therapy Sisters (quartet) and with Purly & the Bunkhouse Boys (trio).
I'm a back-up musician too, playing upright or electric bass, mandolin, bamboo saxophone, harmonica or percussion.
Been performing professionally for 3+ decades...and still
lovin' it ! And I enjoy the challenge of finding (or writing) just the right song(s) for the occasion.... be it an educational, environmental, political, sentimental, agricultural or whimsical engagement.
