Musician

I perform as a guitarist, bassist, and banjo player in southern Maine.

I am an upright Bassist and Vocalist in the 30’s Swing quartet “the Copacetic Collective” we play music for dancing and highlight some overlooked gems from the swing era and beyond.

Composer

I am an active composer of both pop and art music. I have recently completed a small suite of songs for ukulele and classical guitar that will be performed this summer.  My compositions are available for free by request

Teaching Artist:
Documentary Songwriting Project

During the summer of 2021 I was trained as a teaching artist in the Documentary Songwriting Method.

DocSong teaching artists partner with community members to facilitate bearing witness to the human condition and give voice, through music, to people’s experiences.

Puppeteer

I am also a puppeteer and mask maker with my puppet company Paper Bull Puppets. We have done shows as small as 2 puppets and as big as staging a whole puppet opera. (which can be seen above) 

Presenter/Clinician

As a presenter I focus on 3 primary areas, teaching for creative intent through interdisciplinary approaches to music and arts education, improvisation in both idiomatic and non idiomatic settings and instrumental techniques and pedagogy of the guitar in general and instrumental settings.
