Waltzes and slow tunes, as well as lively Celtic, Old-time/Southern, French Canadian, and Swedish fiddle tunes for all types of events.

I sing a cappella and also accompany myself on guitar.

My fiddle has a pleasant, clear tone, so it can fit into a calm atmosphere; or if the occasion calls for it, the fiddle can carry rollicking dance tunes over a long distance. The viola has a lovely tone and powerful projection.

I'm sensitive and experienced at playing music for theater productions, and can find the right sorts of tunes for a particular time and place.

I can sight-read sheet music and also learn by ear, as well as improvising.

I've performed and recorded tracks with singers and bands backing up their vocals, and enjoy doing that very much.

My most recent recording project was with the Mutineers for their new album, "Coal Creek." I improvised a fiddle part for the tunes "Little Maggie" and "Love Divine;" both these tracks are reviewed [linked here] by the Maine Switch in Portland.
