singer-songwriters and a phenomenal guitarist. His music
is a sparkling blend of roots rock, power pop and Americana.

collection of expertly crafted tunes brimming with smart
lyrics and winning pop craftsmanship.
Some career highlights include being asked to play
guitarist-sideman at a rare performance by Ian &
Sylvia Tyson, playing massive festivals both in Canada
and Europe and also supporting Elvis Costello, Shawn
Colvin, Fairport Convention and more...He'll be back
to Europe in June 2010, to play the legendary Glastonbury

more.
