I am an amateur musician living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I like to sing, I like to play guitar, I like to try and make up songs, and I like to record. Mostly, I use my PowerBook and GarageBand to record unsophisticated, lo-fi recordings with an acoustic guitar, vocals and sometimes harmonica. These are simple songs, I hope you enjoy them.

I'm calling most of my music "Folk." One comment I've received suggested the music was not really folk. I guess I agree. Is "Singer/Songwriter" a music genre? If it is, then I guess that's what I'd call this music, but it's not an option on iCompositions.

Music I listen to: Wilco, Jeff Tweedy, M. Ward, Hem, Iris Dement, Whiskeytown, Alejandro Escovedo, Bonnie Prince Billy, Jayhawks, Josh Ritter, Josh Rouse, Kathleen Edwards, Lucinda Williams, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, Ryan Adams, Spoon, Bob Dylan, Rocky Votolado, Lucero...

I appreciate all the positive feedback I've received here on iCompositions. It's been a great place to share my music with other very supportive musicians. I'm not too slick with GarageBand, but I have fun with it nonetheless. Being able to share this stuff here has made it even more fun.
