I have been asked so many times about writing a bio. Writing something that tells the world a little about me. And the first thing that always comes to my mind is, "How narcissistic!!!" Can't do that!! Won't do that!!!

I mean what are bio's really except an attempt to sound much more important than we really are. Or maybe I am just jealous because every time I read a bio, the person I am reading about sounds so much more important than me. Which ultimately makes me feel so unimportant.
I guess I just want my bio to feel real, to feel honest, or at least to feel like me.
Maybe I should tell you that I have had songs heard on television. Maybe I can tell you that I have been heard on KCRW, one of the most incredible radio stations in the world. I should even tell you that my new record is being played right now on the radio across the country and on internet radio stations including the incredible RADIOIO. Maybe I can even tell you that my uncle is singer/songwriter Marc Cohn(Walking in Memphis) and that he has been one of the biggest inspirations for me both creatively and personally. And just last week, I was told that two of my songs were placed in the independent film entitled POPE DREAMS which is scheduled to be released this fall at The Sundance Film Festival.
Enough for "trying" to sound important. I guess at this point I should tell you what I have been up to. Well for the last three years, I have been writing and recording an album with two fabulously talented men. I am indebted to both of them really. One is Evan Beigel. He has always had an ear for music I can only wish I had. He truly is a producer/engineer/mixer in the fullest sense. He always knows where to put microphones, which microphones to use, which players to use, which players not to use. He always has an opinion about how something should sound and nine times out of ten, he is right. And he has an incredible vision. A vision of how the record should sound. A man that oozes music. A man that gushes music. A man whose musical prowess is all over my record.
The other man behind the wheel on this project is Bruce Watson. All the landscapes you hear on this record, more than likely what you are hearing is Bruce Watson. Whether it's the guitar, bass, harmonica, glockens
