for over 30 years, i have been a professional songwriter, and i love meeting with and coaching writers.

my songwriting education is comprised of tens of thousands of hours studying at the feet of bob dylan, jeff tweedy, emily saliers, joni mitchell, paul simon, justin vernon, and many others.

each song and songwriting process is really different. my experience is that you don’t really get better at writing songs, you just get more comfortable and confident going through the process. over the writing of hundreds of songs, i have developed the skill of helping writers talk through that process, bringing clarity and simplicity and joy to what can often be a complex, stressful, and frustrating. sometimes just sitting with someone who’s been there, allowing them to listen and reflect back your ideas and intentions, can make the difference in getting a song all the way out.

i offer weekly, bi-weekly, and one-off coaching sessions (via zoom, including rewatch links).

due to my touring schedule, i mainly only do sessions on tuesdays and wednesdays.

if you’re interested but none of the available times work for you or you have any questions before you book a session, drop me an email.
