Thanks for stopping by my website.

All my albums are now download-able for free from this site.  You can also stream them on Spotify and Apple Music and the other streaming services.

I’ve posted some videos here, and a blog called “news” where you will perhaps notice the intersection of music, dharma, world events, and nature as a path of discovery and interconnection.

At the core is live music, and so I am excited and grateful to be playing with my quartet “Heart of Hearing” on the first Wednesday of every month at the Lilypad in Cambridge, MA and two Thursdays a month at Spice Thai Kitchen in Ipswich, MA.  The “Schedule” page has all the details.

I send out a few brief emails each year.  If you are interested please sign up at the bottom of this page.

Yours in harmony,

New album: Generosity
