I love songwriting and have collaborated with musicians and other songwriters in Baltimore area and now in the Raleigh, NC area.....My music is a folk acoustic with blues influence and rock edge with a hint of country. Usually I write the music first and then the words follow however sometimes a thought or a group of words grab me and I develop a melody and then put acoustic guitar to it. Been playing for 15-20 years and concentrating on songwriting for the last 10 years or so. Use Ableton software and/or also use my old 4 track Vestax MR-44 for my recordings. Shure mics...roland acoustic amp and a 1991 Washburn acoustic guitar and a Mackie 8 channel mixer...thats it....Enjoy!
