I make music in what I call the Bar Romantic genre. It is similar to Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and Johhny Cash - but more Australian. I have been writing and singing songs since I was 13 and this year, 2012, marks 20 years of gigging & recording, to greater and lesser levels of commitment. Waning commitment is not an issue anymore: back in 2007, after many music career misses (one near and multiple far), I had all but given up on the rock n' roll dream, and was glumly substituting it with the bottle. But then I held my baby girl for the first time and, as I stood there in the hospital, God quietly spoke to me (no joke) asking me if that was what I was going to teach her - to give up on who you are. Quite glad to say, I resolved "no" and have never looked back. (Well, I glanced briefly over my shoulder once when I ran over a cat ... but I'm pretty sure he was fine.) I hope you enjoy my tunes. They are entertainment pieces but they also aim to inspire. We will all be dead soon - meantime we must learn to live, I hope my songs help you with this.
