Empty Swings is now available for purchase and download through CD Baby. Visit the Buy CD page, get your copy today and remember ... all proceeds from sales benefit the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation!!! "Fighting childhood cancer, one cup (or CD) at a time ..."

I have become a proud supporter of Musicians On Call, a unique organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. Musicians On Call uses music to promote and complement the healing process for patients, families and caregivers.

The new CD will be here soon and with it, the start of my campaign to raise $25,000 for the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. Check back soon for more information!!!

With the help of multi-instrumentalist and engineer Dave Edwards, my third CD Empty Swings, a delightfully poetic spoken word oddity set to the compositions of jazz fusion guitarist extraordinaire B.D. Lenz, is back on track and coming soon!!! Recording will be completed this month!!!

I will be donating ALL proceeds from the sales of my new CD, Empty Swings, to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a unique foundation that evolved from a young cancer patient's front yard lemonade stand to a nationwide fundraising movement to find a cure for childhood cancer. Since Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004) set up her front yard stand at the age of four, more than $18 million has been raised towards fulfilling her dream of finding a cure for all children with cancer.
