I was just reminded of a really cool event I got to participate in a while back. I was given the opportunity to play "Hallelujah" as a tribute to the late, great, Jeff Buckley. In attendance, not to my knowledge, was Mary, Jeff Buckley's mom. I got to meet her...
It's hard being a musician and doing the business at the same time. It's a crazy thing to have to keep up with! I get involved with many different businesses and non-profits as a producer and consultant to keep myself active in the community and also keep me busy...
When looking for a new direction, or trying out new sounds - or even when you're wanting to just get your uniqueness on the page or on a record, I find it's best to do this with the help of others. I love working in collaboration with others. It soothes my soul and...
I'm currently listening to Joe Cocker live at Woodstock. The rock and roll superstar has remained one of my favorites over the years, and I know there are plenty of others who'd agree he's one of the best performers of all time. Today he passed away in his Colorado...

I've loved Maya Angelou since I was a boy. I was introduced to her by a teacher early in middle school, and was immediately infatuated. Not to mention she reminds me of my first grade teacher, Miss. Noel - who I will never forget for the inspiration she's been in my...
Working on these new work tapes has brought me to some interesting new revelations! I just finished a new song called, "Said The Wrong Thing Again", and writing it taught me some very interesting new things about myself. Two weeks ago I had the chance to meet John...
