Last night’s concert at SubCulture was a treat for me, a rare evening in which I got to highlight some of the art songs and poetry settings I’ve been writing over the years. For those of you asking about the songs or their original poems, here’s a set list. Click on the hyper-links to read lyrics, watch videos, buy sheet music, and more.

Thanks for listening!
