About My Music
Call it "relaxed-fit" Americana. It's my personal blend, informed and inspired by the music I heard growing up in Baltimore --- rock and roll, rockabilly, country, swing, folk, pop, Tin Pan Alley, showtunes, jazz, comedy, a lot of different kinds of music.
Mostly, I write old-fashioned, romantic love songs. Some of the songs are about other stuff. Everyday things, the silly, the sad, whatever goes into making us human. But mostly it's love: The joy of finding it, the pain of losing it, the thrill of a new flame, the contentment of a lasting romance.

I hope the happy, funny ones will get you laughing. Maybe you'll cry a little bit at the sad ones. Mostly, I hope the songs make your day a little more beautiful. And that you'll dance with someone you love.
