With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt? 

When the pandemic hit, I had just finished recording my album and was in the final stages of mixing and mastering.

How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?

Fortunately, I was able to release my album but was unable tour.

What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?

I've been spending time with my son Chuck who was born during the pandemic (December 2020).I've also been writing and performing when the opportunity arises. I've been supporting my mental health by making time to go for walks and connecting with friends and family by phone or Zoom.

As things are reopening & restrictions are lifting have you booked any new gigs? Tours? Etc? If your region is still under restriction, how are dealing with the Covid third wave?

I have a few gigs lined up for the end of August and early September which is super exciting!

Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?

I hope that you're all well!
