Music has kept me sane in times of trouble, sometimes got me into (and out of) trouble, inspired me always, taught me a little humility along the way and I'm enormously grateful to every single person who has shared my journey thus far.

I come from the beautiful seaside town of Portstewart, in Northern Ireland, and I travelled widely as a Royal Navy kid before eventually emigrating to Canada. My mother was a singer who sang in my step-father's band and I cut my teeth on American country music that I heard at home and on the radio. I moved on through R'n'B, Rock'n'Roll, Funk and folk music picking up influences and beginning to bring them together through writing my own songs.

I hope you enjoy some of the results!

Bands

Like most musicians there have been numerous bands in the history of my development... too many to  name and enumerate, but here are a few that I would like to acknowledge and thank for their company, their friendship and their musicianship.
