I
write and sing songs, play guitar and make noise out of a myriad
of other musical instruments. I call Sydney, where I have been
performing for several years now, home
I
have performed at scores of venues, some small, some large, in
and around Sydney as well as at folk clubs and festivals further
afield....oh yeah, and I have been known to play the odd
university and college too
I
have done some session guitar work and have played a variety of
styles of music in a variety of bands, none of which, to my
knowledge, have achieved much fame. In regards to the latter,
band politics and egos seemed to get in the way more often than
not, leading to my eventual decision to become a solo act
As
a solo performer, I have shared the stage with other artists too
numerous to count, some achieving various levels of fame, most
achieving very little to none. My solo performances comprise
myself plus an acoustic guitar and, in recent times, on the rare
occasion, a tenor banjo
I
taught myself how to sing and play and first attempted penning
songs as soon as I could string a couple of chords together. I
suffer a phobia of being pigeonholed and am by no means a purist
when it comes to playing any particular genre. I cannot
attribute my music to any one style; however, when need be, I
would label my music alternate or new folk/blues/rock.
I find it’s best to let the music speak for itself and, from
feedback I have received, have found that the listener always
has their own opinion as to which pigeonhole they feel my music should fit
into
