Bio

I was driving a few years ago in heavy traffic on the Southern State Parkway, a road I'd driven for years, when I looked up and realized I didn't know where I was. Had I passed my exit? After a brief moment of panic (I was running late already) I realized I was where I was supposed to be--then it dawned on me that I was so used to concentrating on just driving, I'd never bothered to take in the scenery!
An interesting lesson in life. And it became the title track for my CD.
I'm often compared to James Taylor, but my influences include the Beatles, Billy Joel, Jackson Browne, CSN, sea chanteys and hard rock. If it's interesting to me, it'll find its way into my music!
Lyrically, I find I'm often able to tap into experiences and feelings shared by many, and often get a reaction of "That song could have been written about me."
Over the years, I've shared stages with Christine Lavin, Tom Paxton, David Buskin, David Johansen, Dar Williams, Ashford & Simpson, Tom Chapin and John Hall. Other career highlights have been a series of charity tribute concerts to Harry Chapin I've produced, playing to over 3,500 people.
