Anyone Can Be a Writer. Having released two books, I'll use what I have learned to publish a short story anthology that features creative works by Northlanders. Anyone with an interest in creative writing is encouraged to contribute!

This Emergency Artist Grant helps me with the financial support I need in the recording of new original music. The Pandemic made it impossible to gig and tour in general over the past year. This greatly effected my income and I am thankful for ARAC support as it helps me stay a working artist putting out new material. I have recorded and released over 20 albums since moving to Duluth in 2006. Most recently, in the first quarter of 2021, I recorded 6 new songs with Glitteratti at Adam Krinsky's studio in Minneapolis. I believe I can achieve this goal of recording new original music according to this specific timetable. I will call this project a success when I have recorded 6 new original songs with my band Glitteratti at Ryan Young's studio. We will record in mid December 2021 and release the music and tour in Spring 2022.
