MORE ABOUT THE MUSIC - CLUBS/RESTAURANTS/CAFES/PRIVATE EVENTS:

With a 3 1/2+ octave, clear voice, I can sing in ANY style (enchanting, standards, folk/Americana, twangy country, rock, jazz, blues).  When I perform, I usually mix it up pretty well.  Over 700 songs in my repertoire!! (Big Song List) and Listen to Cover Songs

I have been influenced and inspired by ALL genres of music. My repertoire is VAST -- From Victorian/American music (1850-1920), classic Standards and Jazz from the 20's, 30's and 40's, to popular music of the 50's and 60's, Americana, traditional and eclectic folk/pop from the 60's and 70's, some 80's ballads, Jazz, a little New Wave, finger-pick and 12 bar Blues, Classic Rock, Classic Country, Christmas music, love songs, Wedding standards and, of course, my own Original Compositions.  I offer an eclectic selection of music, and I'm always learning new songs.

BACK TO VINTAGE MUSIC FOR A MINUTE:

My unique specialty is performing Victorian era, Gilded Age Parlour Music (1850-1915), including Children's music. The music is lovely, lyrical and reflective of the Age of Enlightenment.  I also specialize in performing Modern American Music from 1910-1930. Click here for a list of songs: 1910-1930 Song List.  I also specialize in performing at Assisted Living Facilities/Retirement Communities. (Assisted Living Song List).  

My CD, COSMIC SUMMER SOJOURN:  

My very artistic and thematic project, COSMIC SUMMER SOJOURN, is my debut CD.  The music has been hailed as "timeless", "beautiful", "serenely enchanting", "soothing and sensual", "magical", "mesmerizing" and "haunting".  I combined music from the 1890's with some originals inspired by Eastern philosophy, interlaced with the natural sounds of summer from my backyard, to take you on relaxing and blissful aural daytrip through a summer day.  I plan to record a few more CDs in the coming year.  For now, you can hear a few songs on the New CD to Come Page. 

AWARDS/FILM:

The Last Full Measure of Devotion, an original compostion created for and featured in a DOCUMENTARY about agricultural preservation in Adams County, Pennsylvania. (My song Gliding Along Lightly which you can hear on this site was also featured in that documentary.)  I recorded a song for a local Wilmington filmmaker in February 2012.  

Cosmic Summer Sojourn, was awarded Finalist (third prize), and Honorable Mention for Gliding Along Lightly from the Songwriter's Association of Washington 2009 International Songwriting Contest.  My songs were chosen from among 700 different artists entries.
