Hello and welcome, so glad to see you!
A multidisciplinary artist, my focus is on bringing a wholistic creative approach—the understanding of one medium feeding the curiosity of another. Eager to start your next musical project?
Hello friends, thanks for stopping by! Here are a few of projects I’ve been working on recently.
You can always listen to a sample of music from my projects on my Apple Music Playlist.
…yes, there’s a Spotify version. But stop giving them your money!
I’ve always been a student of the great concert films of the past—Woodstock; the Last Waltz; Monterey Pop; the Grateful Dead Movie; etc. Putting on another hat, on this tribute to Rusty Young, I worked as producer and director, behind the camera, capturing the concert on film.
“Two voices with intricate guitar bits” - or some such phrase became the mantra of this project. But the real project became figuring out how to shine a bright and focused light on those voices and guitar bits.
Creating the cover and package for “Poems From Earth” inspired my own artistic soul searching process. Researching through a book on historical symbology, an image came to mind and through a many revisions the final collage came into focus.
Though it may seem like I’m jetting off every other weekend to a new stage with some band or another, I’m always eager to meet a new artist, find a new spotlight, make a new home for the songs in the real world, with hungry fans. Let’s make some music!
Below are some upcoming Live Dates:
When executive producer, Kirk Pasich, gave me the assignment to work on a cover for his “Radio—Alone in the Night” project, I was immediately thrown into vivid memories of childhood when I would get lost in the album covers while listening to my parents’ collection.
With 12x12 inches to work with, visual artists approached the design of the album jacket with significantly more attention to detail.
What inspired me most for Kirk’s project were the hand-painted covers like Frank Zappa’s “Overnite Sensation” and Styx’s “A Night at the Paradise.”
It was my goal to find a modern way to paint the scenes from Kirk’s story that accompanies the project. Using the latest technology, as well as a copy-camera editor’s techniques, I was able to create a scene fresh from Kirk’s mind.
