Ken Bonfield knocks me out. He plays with the two main ingredients I look for in a player; heart and passion. He's a player's player, and I'm a die hard fan.

I am very excited to announce my return to the steel string guitar. I'm playing steel string guitar for the first time since December 2017 and my hands are doing well.
I'm currently recording my 9th album, The Gratitude List, at Sound & Substance studio with producer/engineer extraordinaire, Tom Eaton. Special guests include Charlie Bisharat on violin, Michael Manring on fretless bass, Tom on piano and bass, Jeff Oster on Flugelhorn, Kim Deschamps on pedal steel, and Vin Downes on nylon string guitar and octave mandolin.
Expect singles this summer and an album release this fall.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me for over 30 years. I am humbled, and so grateful to play for you again.
