Why write songs? For me, songwriting is how I find peace.

Each song begins in the unfinished places: a lingering question, a tender memory, a quiet ache for meaning. Each song is a journey—an unfolding that moves from restlessness toward resolution, from searching toward a kind of gentle peace.

I warmly invite you to join me, along with my band buddies – Ed McTague and John Burkhauser – at Cranaleith for an intimate afternoon of original music woven together with the stories that gave each song life. This is more than a concert—it’s a contemplative experience. A space to slow down, listen deeply, and allow the music to meet you wherever you are.

In the stillness of this shared time, you may find something unexpected: a memory stirred, a hope rekindled, or simply a moment of quiet presence. Come, rest awhile in the music—and carry its peace with you when you leave.
