If I wanted to perform just one concert of some of the songs I’ve written over the years, this song would be in it.

Everybody Knows (You’re Lying About Me)

Being gaslit sucks. You don’t deserve to be gaslit. And don’t be a gaslighter.

When I have my doubts, my uncertainties, my feelings of questioning if I’ve let opportunities pass me by, I just remember the venues my client The Director has performed at in NYC and vicariously through him feel better. Thank you to all who made those performances happen.

A little one I worked on a while ago. The melody is a little wonky though I enjoy the vulnerability of this rendition.

Runaway by Del Shannon (Late Night Sleepy Edition)
Some nights you go to bed early when you feel tired. Other nights you start playing 1960s songs on the ukulele and upload them for reasons...

All Go Together by Big Country
(Butchered by Paul Connolly)
Love this song and didn’t know the exact chords but found a slightly different melody that I quite enjoyed. The original is still the best.
30 years old, still relevant…

Heartbreaker (from the play “Battery” by Zoë Maunder)
When I was first reading the script, I was struck by how a monologue my character would deliver felt like a blues song. Unusual for me, I adapted the monologue into a song and, with approval, got to perform it in the show.
