Artist History Five years ago, I left my Ph.D. program in Marine Science to give music and writing a shot. Set out solo (guitar, voice, and PA system, will travel) and played at any restaurant, beach bar or coffeehouse that was willing to take me. The next half decade has been a mini-lifetime of relationships, learning experiences, songs written and then chucked and then revived again, greasy spoon diners to grand concert halls, treks up and down the east coast with my dog Hal, flights across to the West coast, breakdowns in haunted Texas towns, solo
