about

My first album, 2 years in the works, released on June 15th, 2020 on Bandcamp. $5 suggested donation, all proceeds from June 15th to June 21st raised $1640 split evenly between Black Lives Matter, and my local LGBTQ connection (Napa / Sonoma CA).

"The Banjo Is Missing" is my homage to all of the instrumental acoustic music that has influenced and inspired me for the last 10 years. It is part bluegrass, Scandinavian folk, and Irish trad. I composed several of these tunes with the banjo in mind, I just don’t play the banjo, therefore it is missing. No matter your feelings on the banjo, some of these tunes scream for it.
