My third year as a Fawmer. I'm really excited to take on the challenge again!

I am a multi-instrumentalist: guitar, violin/fiddle, viola, mandolin, mandola, banjo, uke, and bass. I started writing songs a long, long time ago.

I currently live in Kenosha, WI, but am originally from the Milwaukee area. I have also lived in the Twin Cities (28 yrs) and Washington DC area (2 yrs).

I've played in Old Time/String bands, Bluegrass, Rock, and Americana bands over the years, besides Singer-Songwriter venues. I’ve also been playing lately with my wife, Kristin... and co-hosting the monthly Kenosha Hootenanny with her.

Thank you, Bob - it's been a great month. So glad we got to collaborate again this year. I'm always happy to try to summon up some lyrics if you find you have other tunes in need of some words.

Hey Bob, thanks so much for turning my Little Miss Riding Hood lyrics into a song. Sounds really good!
Couple of things. Could you add me as a contributor on the song please, so that it shows up on my Songs page?
Also, would it be possible to get a copy of the song emailed to me? I'd like to be able to upload it to my phone and still be able to listen to it once FAWN 2023 has ended

Hey, Bob - thanks again for waltzing with my lyric. If you’d ever like to do a music-first collaboration, I’m happy to listen to one of your tunes and see what it’s saying to me.
