In his words

I write many of the songs I perform. My influences vary from The Decemberists to Skip James, a veritable musical gumbo.

I’ve been playing music since I was eight, and I’ve been in various groups throughout the past fifty years.

What I play is eclectic and eccentric: songs both original and traditional that you’re not likely to hear anywhere else.
