✍️ About
As a younger man I pursued the path of a songwriter and performer both in Canada and the US with varying degrees of success. I signed a recording and publishing contract in Western Canada at the age of 23 resulting in an album that was never released (a long and painful story). I let go of it as any kind of a vocation in my early thirties, but never stopped playing. About 12 years ago, I joined a songwriting group and started to write songs after 3 decades of letting that part of myself drift off. in 2022-2023 I worked… with Ben Bernstein and James Nash on and off to record some of these new tunes and self-published an EP titled Seasons. I have mostly written confessional songs to and about people I am close to or have strong feelings about. My early stuff is syrupy, emotional and naive, the later stuff is syrupy, emotional and somewhat less naive. Writing songs has never come easy, but it has evolved from a secret, necessary and deeply required part of my life as a young man, to become a much more pleasurable pursuit as senior. The process is uniquely excruciating and satisfying. All comments are welcome and appreciated.
