Femme Messiah
Orchids In The Arctic

In the summer of 1999, I met a freind of a friend who was recording a CD of original songs. She asked me if I would play rhythm guitar on three or four songs. I agreed and that was the beginning of a long musical collaboration—first with her and one of her friends (an exceptional lead guitar player and song writer)—and then with an ever-changing line-up of lead guitarists and a drummer as "Femme Messiah" until the fall of 2006.

Two of my songs—"Becoming" and "Friends By The Fire" appear on the collection. I also
co-wrote two of the other songs that appear on the collection, did the artwork for the album cover and the booklet containing the lyrics and credits, and designed the band's web site.

To listen to any of the songs in this collection, click on the song title below.
