I'm a singer-songwriter- I play guitar and a bit of keys. I'm 47, so I'm not trying to break into the industry. I'm early-retired and would like to have some fun and express a bit of creativity, and I also have some connections to do some soundtrack work. As a singer, I'm inspired by Jeff Buckley, Ryan Adams, the Righteous Brothers, Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, the Four Seasons, Sam Cooke. As a songwriter, I'm inspired by Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, Tift Merrit, Lucinda Williams, Jeff Tweedy, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen, etc. I'd like to do a combination of originals and covers in a a unique style.
