Influenced by acoustic rock musicians, such as Tom Petty, James Taylor, Neil Young, and David Gray, Jamie brings an interesting mix to the table that is sure to

Born in New Brunswick, Canada, Jamie made his way to the United States at the age of 25 to further his career as a Geological Engineer. It wasn't until Jamie moved to upstate New York in 2001 that he discovered a hidden talent that had eluded him for all these years. It wasn't long after picking up the guitar out of pure bordem, and teaching himself to play and sing, that his original music began to pour out.
Finally settling down in the Chelsea area of NYC in late 2003, Jamie has found a way to balance his creative music side with the day to day headaches of corporate America. He has begun work on his debut CD titled "Next Stop Everywhere" which should be available in late 2008.
