<"b00005uei92999"> About the Artist
Childhood and youth happened in Ohio and Indiana. The Ohio River Valley and the southern edges of the Great Lakes are the long threads of my fabric. Toledo, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati. Punctuating an otherwise middleclass suburban existence were memorable times spent working on family farms and in rust-belt factories in other, smaller towns. Good stuff for a songwriter, and reason enough to go to college.

After college, I bolted the midwest for good, landing in the New York City area where I spent six quintessential East Coast years launching a career in industrial and graphic design. In '72, I moved to Southern California, a single father with two young children, and have managed to hug the golden coast for 30 years; Manhattan Beach, Venice, Santa Monica and finally Santa Barbara.

Eight years ago, I began writing songs. A bit later, I had two or three songs under my belt when a local songwriting workshop came to my attention. I will always be profoundly grateful to Jim Messina (Buffalo Springfield, Poco, Loggins & Messina) for those weekly sessions and the subsequent extended seminars. Jimmy was incredibly supportive and a bottomless well of talent, professionalism and experience. The workshops spurred and honed my efforts, and they created a wonderfully active, supportive network of songwriters and performers in the Santa Barbara area. Workshop bonus: There I met and eventually married the beautiful singer/songwriter Kate Bennett. Thanks, Jim.

These days, Kate and I perform together. I back her songs with harmonica, she backs mine with vocals. I also have the great pleasure and benefit of my youngest son, Keegan, playing lead guitar with me - the erstwhile 2Bisch'n' Blues Band.
