Directly east of the San Francisco Bay lies a charming and glorifying portion of the 400 mile -long Sierra Nevada, The Mammoth Lakes Sierra. Nestled high in this eastern Sierra mountain range is the tiny mountain village called Mammoth Lakes, California. For decades I have considered this place my home and in my music the stories of this place are told. From the banks of the Neverfail, the Owens River, McGee Creek, Second Crossing, Reds Meadow, Tioga Pass, Yosemite National Park, Lake Rosalie, and the towering peaks of John Muir’s “Range Of Light” come the lively stories and soft ballads that have come from my heart, and are sent to yours. It is my prayer that this collection of my work will not only touch your heart, but your soul. 

I hope to see you soon out on the trail!
