Artist Biography
In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
When I was little, my mom would banish me to my room for a nap with only my record player for company. I would listen to Burl Ives, Pete Seeger, The Kingston Trio, John Denver, Willie Nelson, and more. It really engrained them into my musical DNA... What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Paul Simon, The Essential Paul Simon
Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel 4: Security (Remastered)
The Corries, The Very Best of the Corries
The albums use words and sounds to tell compelling stories. They have always inspired me to look deeper and find not just good words, but the BEST words for my songs. And to explore different instrumentation and arrangements. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song.
“Legacy”
I wrote the music for this song just a few hours before we went into the studio to record it. The lyrics were written by my late friend Deanna Smit Scotland, and she managed to capture the "being our best selves" theme amazingly well. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
In the summer of 2001, my band Jiggernaut played the rock stage at the Milwaukee Irish Fest. It was amazing to stand on that huge stage and look out over the crowd and see Lake Michigan in the background... Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I would love to play a show at Red Rocks (Boulder, CO), and do a tour of Scotland (where a lot of my music comes from). I'd also like to do a cruise on a tall ship, and share my sea shanties and other nautical songs with the guests and crew.
