As an award winning singer songwriter, JMA Best Original song of 2019, and 2011 Grand Canyon Artist-In-Residence, he draws from decades of playing rock, folk ,country, jazz, and world music. Each of his songs is written in the genre that best suits its subject matter.

Many of these tracks were produced at the Studio Montgomery Live! location.
