An almost-award-winning singer-songwriter, I've been messing around on guitar since 1972 and was singing way before that (I was George in our Beatles lip-synch band).
I like writing (when I'm finished), recording (before it starts), performing (most of the first two sets after which it gets sketchy), and singing with other folks (always), whether its friends, audiences, or bandmates. I sang with THE TONES starting in 1983 or so and can still communicate with whales.
My repertoire leans country-ish/eclectic/acoustic rocky (hey Rocky! watch me pull a ...). I've performed solo at BUMBERSHOOT, Eugene Celebration, Willamette Valley Folk Fest, Northwest Folklife Fest, on KLCC, and lots of other places... In concert, when not slogging through my arcane (but generally well-received) originals, I'll cover Bonnie Raitt, Jerry Jeff Walker, Doc Watson, John Hiatt, Michelle Shocked, Jerry, Neil, the Stones, Norman Blake, Rodney Crowell, Randy Newman, and great songwriters like that...
Now that I'm back in the bosom of my old home town, I'm HOPING TO perform at music-friendly PUBS & Wineries, Festivals, to do STUDIO VOCALS (singing and V/O), to work on writing collaborations and film/media projects (I have a good ear for MIXING LIVE AND STUDIO SOUND), and so forth.
Also looking forward to making new musical friends in Eugene...
PLEASE check out the new BAND: BAREFOOT LEROY (also on Eugene A Go Go).
Peace and love, friends.
