Ich bin aus Berlin und schreibe Lieder. Seit 2003 sind Jan Rohrbach (git) und Janis Görlich (dr) in meiner Band, Patrick Reising und Alex Binder seit 2018. (v.r.n.l.) Im Juni 2025 ist unser neues Album mit dem Titel "Springbrunnen" erschienen - damit sind wir jetzt in ganz Deutschland auf Tour. Und auch für jeweils ein Konzert in Österreich und der Schweiz.

I'm a writer and gardener living in the remnant of a forest on the coast of Maine USA. My novels include Rumors of Spring, Tex and Molly in the Afterlife, and Another Green World. I'm a gay father and granddaddy. He/him
