Band to Join, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Background Singer.ABOUT
The 4 tracks below are from a demo I made in 2006 of my original songs. It was part of a collaboration with my partner.
Since then, it’s been challenging to find another person to collaborate with. I have come to realize that finding a life partner and musical partner are equally as challenging!
I took a hiatus from searching for awhile after having my son almost 8 years ago.
I am now searching again.
And I am certain about my desire for musical collaboration rather than playing solo.

Rock & Roll / Folk Greats : Elvis, Johnny Cash, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Bill Withers, Dolly Parton, and Janis Joplin, Bowie

More recent artists that also inspire me: Patrick Watson, Bon Iver, Cat Power, The Be Good Tanya’s, Ray Lamontagne, Timber Timbre, Charlotte Cardin, Amy Winehouse, Sufjen Stevens, Alexandra Streliski, November Ultra, Daughter, Ann Brun…
I also had a Bossa Nova project in my ‘20’s with a guitarist which was great fun. So I am quite familiar with Latin jazz as well.
And I also love Azealia Banks for her audacity, Portishead, for their depth, Neko Case for her vocals and lyrics, and honestly I could go on and on and on…
I love music period.
But what I love most is sharing this passion with others.
