Artist History I grew up in the boston area listening to my father's clancy brothers records and classical music. I heard bob dylan's "tommorrow is a long time" on a set of headphones in my junior high library listening room in 1974 and I was changed. I've written poetr y and essays and fiction since I was a kid. Songwriting and performing, those times when you connect with the people in a room deeply, that feeds me.

Instruments guitar, vocal
