Heavy Americana, written for the brief.

Placement-ready tracks for film, TV, and ads — real songs with real grit, cleared in one stop and easy to drop into a scene.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter who came up through alternate tunings and forty-odd years of playing. These are my own recordings — one-stop, master and publishing in one place, written and produced with film, TV, and advertising in mind. Quick to clear, easy to work with, and happy to write to a brief.

New titles in the works — 2026

Every Day With Me
Warm · mid-tempo · acoustic-forward

"Some folks chase forever / I just want the afternoon…" Tender, unhurried, and nostalgic — the kind of cue that sits under a montage, a reunion, or a slow-burn romantic beat. Acoustic guitar and brushed drums; lyric-forward but easy to instrumental down.

How Things Used To Be
Reflective · bittersweet · building

"I miss how things used to be / or how I remember they were…" A wistful, self-aware look back — built for closing scenes, time-passage sequences, and end-credit moments. Starts intimate, opens up; works as a full vocal or as an underscore bed.

Hard Lines in the Sand
Driving · gritty · mid-uptempo

"I drew my hard lines in the sand / and watched the tide take it back again…" Stubborn, road-worn, and a little defiant — cuts for drama trailers, conflict beats, and gritty character pieces. Electric and acoustic stacked; strong stems for trailer and promo edits.

On the Off Again
Rueful · rootsy · with a wink

"We swore last time was the last time / now here we are, on the off again…" Wry, warm, and knowing — a natural for rom-com beats, dating-show moments, and lighthearted relationship scenes. Loose, lived-in groove with a hook supervisors remember.

Need something specific for a scene, a spot, or a trailer? The full catalog runs broader than what's here — quiet and intimate to driving and defiant — and I write to brief on a quick turn. One-stop clearance, masters and publishing in one place.
