Discography

With a country band I was in, we released a demo. It had a couple of my originals on it, but I don't think that counts as "released". I'll leave this category blank for now.

In college, while sitting in music class, I always got the same rhetoric. "That kid is going to actually DO something with his music." And I have. I perform weekly at a church, and often I'm asked to write a song for a special occasion. I hit up the open mic night scene sometimes, but really enjoy getting together with the other talents of Columbus, OH and PLAY. I'll write out charts of my tunes, and we'll all find something new to bring to them. Music is, above all else, fun. It's an expression of the human condition, a litmus of good and bad, rich and poor, troubled-not and dying. But in the face of ALL negativity, music is fun.

I simply try to capture and share, with whoever wants to listen, a piece of that condition, and let people have some fun.

Also, I do instrumental gigs often enough to keep up a repertoire of tunes, and can sight read chords and melodies (together) well. If needed, I can fill a cabaret/house party/wedding instrumental spot, and I have heard many good responses.

SONG WRITING: I have been writing for over 10 years with good results. I constantly experiment with song form and structure, plays on words, hooks in lyric and phrase. I love a tight, concise form, no wasted space or words.

I write about love (duh), God (His place in my life, sometimes wondering what that is...), and STORIES. I love a good story. Once I find a story to tell, I obsess over how to tell it best, with little twists and turns necessary to any novel (so why not a song?), and a melody that keeps you listening, maybe singing along, tapping your toe. I love performing, but I love being handed ideas to put to music as much or more.

So I perform and I write. I love music. Anything else you want to hear about? Hire me and I'll tell you everything I know! The word "email" is included in my email address.
