CURRENT MISSION

Keepin' it real on the horse farm, traveling for music, traveling for fun. Teaching banjo and guitar lessons.

ABOUT ME

I really love music a whole lot. I grew up in Connecticut and have lived in Western Massachusetts since 2009. I play guitar, banjo, and sing in two groups, one playing bluegrass music, the other more rock&roll exploratory songwriting type thing. I also teach banjo and guitar lessons. I'm a cancer, I like the woods, I like the cities, I like the reading and the talking. I'm interested in what interests people.

PHILOSOPHY
