Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)

I am a music journalist and photographer whose work appears in Fretboard Journal, FGM, Bluegrass Unlimited, Mandolin Magazine, Acoustic Guitar, along with past work for Frets, Pickin', Mandolin World News, etc. I love using my writing and photography skills to further the careers of the musicians I admire.

As a musician, I've played and recorded with Indiana based groups including County Line, Playing With Fire, the Circle City Slickers, Hot Club of Naptown and many more. I love playing live gigs - it's the only place I truly feel alive. I also write very strong original material in a variety of styles that I'm working at getting out to the music industry now.

Do you have a website?

I'm trying to organize a flatpick workshop in southern Indiana with possible evening gig somewhere and wondered if you had any idea of where in the Bloomington area I might do this. I might do a flatpick/ fingerpick workshop and bring my friend Sean Weaver(chet stylist) or maybe do combo guitar/fiddle workshop and bring Mike Cleveland. Any thoughts(looking at maybe early January. Take care dave, Jeff

I hope you're doing well. I have a good souvenir of a jam 2 years ago at IBMA, Proulx's room (more easy to write than to say :^)).
The Hot Club Of Naptown is in my CD car player - Did you know you can be heard in Pigalle, where Django started to play ? :^).
