I have been a guitar player since the age of 13 and have published a book of poetry, but I didn’t put the two together until 5 years ago, when I wrote my first song. In addition to performing my own songs with my group, the Eclectics, I also play guitar in the South End String Band. My wife, Yonnah, and I run an art gallery and are both mixed and multi-media artists and often collaborators. We met when we were both living in Israel and now live in Washington State.
