Pure, unadulterated melodies flanked by crafty musical textures. His debut CD Dreamtown features guitar-driven, melodic pop and haunting ballads with lushly-layered guitar arrangements reminiscent of early Genesis, Steely Dan and XTC. Todd Rundgren’s influence can be heard on the Dreamtown track “I Can Take It”, a song that might also have fit snugly on XTC’s Rundgren-produced classic Skylarking album.

What if The Beach Boys had teamed up with R.E.M. and Elvis Costello wrote all the songs? The result would sound something like UK artist Richard Snow.
