"I traverse the country singing songs and playing tunes for people. Inspired by old music, from when our stories were kept alive in songs and our memories were triggered by a tune, before music became background in elevators and at gas pumps. I carry on with the warmth of a singable melody and a lyric that says a lot in a few words. But even though you can hear all that old music in me, I have a new take on it, and you can find musicians of all backgrounds and genres singing my songs around the country.  When people ask me what I do for a living, I say, "I make all of my mistakes in public." So, I aim to bring people together, and to make us feel good about being human. Thanks go out to everyone who keeps me going!"
