I can say something about what my songs are about, though. In a word, they’re all about Grace. Much of them explore the relationship between force and flow. I’m fascinated by the deep truths bound in paradox, and those moments when you realized that everything you thought you knew about something, or someone, was wrong. I am learning to trust my judgments less and less, because I’ve been so often wrong and the slightest change in lighting changes the appearance of things, and thereby my perception. We are like blind men trying to describe an elephant. Anyway, I enjoy cultivating the growing realization of how much I don’t know, especially about what I don’t know. Can a little biographical detail help? Probably not, but for what it’s worth I was born in New York City, and have lived in Colorado, New Mexico, New England, California and Oregon, as well as a stint studying abroad in Europe. I attended 13 different schools before I went off to college. I suppose my travels and vagabond childhood contribute to my penchant for observation and compassionate insight. My influences, you ask? They are varied and many, but they include Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Neil Young, Mark Knopfler, Bruce Cockburn, Eric Taylor, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Harry Manx.
