Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

While busking in Dublin Ireland one Saturday I was joined by Daniel Lanois (one half of U2's producing team) and his girlfriend Emmy Lou Harris who sang backing vocals to a medley of Amy, Bad Moon Rising and Good Lovin'!

Embarrassing Moment

Being a judge at a songwriting contest where all the judges performed one of their original songs and I screwed up the chords during one of the verses!

My Instrument

I would have to say that my main instrument is my voice. I'm not much of a guitarist, I play only rhythm and mostly what they call "cowboy chords"!
