ABOUT
This site is dedicated to my musical activities - as opposed to my work in Linguistics. I primarily work as a sideman and session player on bass and keyboards, but I am also involved on a more regular basis with a few select band/projects. If you've been around a while (like since the early 90s), you might remember me from my band, The New Meanies - we haven't broken up despite not playing very many gigs these days.
MUSIC
I play "sideman" with a few groups and artists around Winnipeg, lately including Sweet Alibi, Dugas, Anna Katsina Hull, and Rambling Dan Frechette. I've been trying not to stretch myself too thin in that department, so I haven't been working with many other artists recently, though it does happen from time to time...
As a songwriter, I have recorded nearly a dozen albums (most in small, limited release). You can stream and download my most recent solo albums over at my BandCamp page.
I have a number of more recent, unfinished, or experimental recordings on my Soundcloud page.
You can also listen to or download (mp3) my most recent 2012 release "Most Of This Is True" right from the sidebar ⇒
