A bit about me and my music... |

Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet. I'm a semi-professional singer/songwriter/multinstrumentalist/arranger/home-recordist/lover-of-all-things aural based in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Northern Ontario (?!)
As you can see I play the cabasa, but I also sing (lead and harmony), play acoustic guitar, bass, mandolin, harmonica, washboard, and a variety of percussion instruments. Please feel free to have a look around for further information on my various toys... |

It may come as a shock to you, but yes, the long-haired guy plays guitar.

Sitting on the deck of a fine celtic bar in Kingston Ontario, we ran into a couple of musicians, and happily fell into a tasty open-aired jam. Luckily I had my harmonicas and trusty mandolin with me.

Most of my experience on bass has been in celticy pub bands, but I also played in a punk and rock cover band for a while. Fun!
