Since I began performing professionally, I have been honored to provide music at a number of funeral and memorial services. In that time, I have come to feel that a song, sung well and with conviction, can bridge the gap between the living and recently departed. I can provide that song which perfectly honors a loved one's memory and moves the souls of the mourning.
