Bio

Howdee!  I play guitar, lap steel, mandolin and other things with strings. As a singer/songwriter, I have performed in Europe consistently for many years. I have written music for three documentaries for French television and my music has been used in television shows all over the world. Most recently, I wrote and produced a song for Maestra, which will be featured on their video:  “A Seat At The Table”.  As an instrumentalist, credits include: Kate Pierson of the B-52s,  Ani DiFranco, and the American Composers Orchestra. I have lent my guitar skills on Broadway in "Almost Famous", "Head Over Heels", “Grease”, “9 to 5”, “Baby It’s You”, “Everyday Rapture”, “Kinky Boots”, “Waitress” , "Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet", and “Jagged Little Pill”.  I was also the in-house contractor for both Head Over Heels and Almost Famous.  Off Broadway credits include:  "Superhero" and “Trip of Love”.  Additionally, I have produced recordings for several artists with my partner, Tim Hatfield and was a MacDowell Colony grant recipient. I am most proud of my ability to wah wah my way out of any solo, anytime.  I strive to bring a fun, positive energy to every project, work within budget and finish within specified deadlines.
