Bio Thanks for visiting my site. I am a pianist, guitarist, and vocalist. I have been performing lately with Violet Lea as an acoustic duo in the folk/bluegrass/rock style. We have been traveling the country this year through Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Arizona, and New Mexico in support of our new album, 'Year of the Renegade Children'. Our new album is a mix of downtempo, shoegaze, bluegrass, postrock. I studied piano at Texas Tech University, and received a Bachelor's in Music Education. I have worked as a choral conductor in public school and churches, as a 'music therapist' with Alzheimer's patients and Mentally Retarded adults, and as a private music instructor. I have travelled extensively through Europe, and visiting each country several times with the exception of Portugal, Scotland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Poland, all of which I one day intend to visit, have travelled minimally through South America (Chile and Argentina), and plan on moving with Violet to South Korea in January. There we will teach English, perform and record more new music, and of course TRAVEL!!!!!
