Details:
Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas based singer-songwriter. I have been writing songs on the piano and guitar since I was twelve and have been recording them on some form of machine since the age of fourteen. My influences include The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Danny Elfman, Erik Satie, Django Reinhardt, Raymond Scott, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Vince Guaraldi. My current album Mars Hill was written in 2004 and was recorded, mixed and mastered in 2005. It incorporates several musical elements including sacred classical forms, Indian ragas and Celtic music and focuses lyrically on such subjects as 1st century Christian history, Soviet history, early 20th century Irish history and the realm of medicine/psychiatry. I wrote all of the songs on the record with the exception of Jesus Is a Dying Bedmaker, which is traditional and played the piano, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer electric piano, organ, acoustic and electric guitar, upright and electric bass, banjo, sitar, percussion and sang.
