ABOUT

I am the former Music Director at The Center for Spiritual Living, Winnipeg. The Music Genre listing I chose was Christian Contemporary, but only because it was the only spiritual category close to who we are. I sometimes affectionately refer to us as the church of Oprah Winfrey because we have much in common with the topics she promotes. Looking for vocalists interested in performing occasionally.

Influences

I've been a singer/songwriter for 37 years. Played in some small bands, and did a lot of solo gigs, Folk Festivals, some bars, coffee houses. Grew up listening to Motown, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, John Prine. Worked as a professional Ballroom Dance Instructor. I've worked professionally in a clown troupe doing kids songs, and played for Seniors as well. So, my musical influences run the gamut of all ages. Love the classics of the 50's, 60's, 70's etc. and music with powerfully inspiring lyrics. Rickie Byars Beckwith is my current musical icon (check out her band on youtube performing "Wholly Holy Way."
