Rooted in the heart of the Kootenay Rockies, I draw my inspiration from the wild and rugged landscape that I call home.

I pull my creative inspiration from the rivers I wade in and the small town working life I lead.

With my choice of traditional instruments, kinetic foot percussion and old-timey lyrics, I put myself into the category of Roots and Blues, with a hint of Bluegrass/Old Time.

I play several instruments in multiple tunings: Flat top guitar, clawhammer banjo, resonator guitar (aka dobro), harmonica, pedal steel and foot percussion.
