I was one of the founding members of the Pittsburgh-based band Sandoz which was signed to the New York label Relix Records and produced three albums. I have just released an unsigned solo album, Out from Nowhere. The ten original songs run the gamut from folk rock to country swing and spoken word jazz and feature some of the city’s finest musicians on sax, flute, violin, pedal steel, piano, and guitar. With a heavy emphasis on lyrics and story telling, my musical influences include songwriters such as Bruce Cockburn, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan and my material comes out of my experiences during a nomadic lifestyle.
