Artist History My parents started me on the piano when I was eight, but I didn't take to that too well. After about four years of piano lessons, they let me quit. I picked up the guitar in high school and started listening to Neil Young, the Grateful Dead and a lot of blues. Later I went through a big Doors phase. I played guitar and piano in the jazz band during my senior year of high school, even though I didn't really know what I was doing! I performed in my college jazz band and jammed with a lot of different people. After college, I played guitar and sang at open mic nights, coffee shops and bars, although that never went anywhere. I'm still playing guitar and writing songs, though, and collobarating with fellow musicians. I have finally recorded with one of these musicians, Doug Arnet, and will feature some of our songs on this site.
