Behind The Music

  • Fly Away

    Fly Away is an uplifting, feel-good track about choosing your own path and moving forward with confidence. Available on all major streaming services… “The first thing that caught me was the way the track settles in—there’s a patience to it, like you’re letting the listener arrive on their own terms. By the time it hit […]

  • I Dreamt Of You Again Last Night

    Inspired by a vivid dream sparked by listening to CSNY following David Crosby’s passing, “I Dreamt of You Again” captures the spirit of the late ’60s and early ’70s with a gentle, psychedelic folk glow.

  • Route 19

    Available on all major streaming services… Route 19 is a cinematic reflection on memory and the roads that lead us back to the people who shaped us. The song recalls late-night drives Ray took after long days at work, heading down Route 19 to visit his grandfather—always arriving to find the porch light on and […]

  • Remembrance

The pedal became a creative catalyst, shaping the song’s harmonic shifts and emotional arc. […]

The recording captured the energy and optimism […]

  • It’s Not What You Think

    Most of the people who know me musically, know me as a old rocker (although I’m really not that old!). It’s what I grew up listening to, and playing as a teenager. But as I got older, my tastes in music broadened...and I discovered Jazz.. So when I got the idea to do this project, I wanted to do something different.

  • The Story Of Two

    Two is very personal to me. It’s a triumph over depression, creative block, self-doubt, and thinking my best years are behind me. I hadn’t written any music since my EP “It’s Not What You Think,” released in 2003. That was a long time ago.
