I’ve been writing songs for over 30 years and I’ve had many industry successes—I open frequently for the Indigo Girls and I've been featured on NPR's All Things Considered and in Rolling Stone. But accolades aren’t what keep me writing. I write to:- Make sense of difficult times in my life- Preserve memories of joyful or meaningful events- Connect with others who I love, or who have similar experiences- Feel the rush of bringing something totally new into the worldWhy should this amazing adventure be available only to people with the time to learn an instrument or the privilege of being able to pursue it as a career? I believe *anyone* can write a song and everyone should. You just need me, your SongSidekick for the journey.
