I live and perform folk music in Switzerland, although I'm American. I have always loved ballads and songs in the folk tradition, especially those of the great singer-songwriters of the 1960s. They tell stories of hard times, love in all its beauty and pain, seeking and finding, hope and joy, humor and despair. Playing and singing them brings me profound wonder and joy. I hope you will enjoy listening to my songs as much as I've enjoyed performing them.
