Songwriter, guitarist, painter, fiddler, slide player, eco-village member and believer in all
things possible. Named 2016 Folk Alliance International Artist-in- Resident, he’s played
with Suzanne Vega, Dar Williams, David Francey, John McCutcheon, John Gorka, Judy
Collins and 100’s more. His songs are cinematic and are being made into award winning
films.
He’ll surprise you and awaken the cynics. He’s plumbing for lyrical gold like a social
archeologist. His songs are universal, his rhythm infectious and in concert, he is funny
as hell one moment and transcendent the next.
Mystical, and humorous roads, twisting through vivid cinematography.
Like short 4:00 films. Visual, artful and human. Brooklyn in July, Oklahoma towns,
rattlesnake tails, turbary thieves, Galway heather, meter maids and drunk roosters. At
the end of the night, you’ll leave inspired. “The Long Note” is a phrase in Irish culture.
“The Long Note” is that place of resonance and transcendence where the music, the
voices, the instruments, and the community ALL come together and unite.
Whether he’s picking his 48 Gibson, weaving through lap slide songs or looping his
fiddle, he will draw you in. It happens every time. Watch a YouTube video. It’s good,
but it’s not the same. You gotta come to a show. With unwavering courage to be
himself, he is literate, poignant and funny as hell.
