My interest in the singer/songwriter genre dates back to my childhood growing up in Philadelphia. I first started playing the guitar when I was seven, and soon became captivated by the likes of James Taylor, John Prine, Gordon Lightfoot, Tom Waits, Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and of course Bob Dylan.​

Somewhere along the line I heard the Bob Dylan album Blonde on Blonde, I think I was only ten years old. Even at that young age, a line from "Visions of Johanna" resonated with me in a way that no song lyric previously had: “Ain’t it just like the night to play tricks when you’re trying to be so quiet…”

​​

Over time, the music I've most enjoyed playing has been classics of Bob Dylan's, well-loved covers, and, of course, my own original music, each of which is represented throughout the site.
