Hello World from Montana!

As a 4th generation Montanan, I most definitely have Montana in my blood. I’ve traveled, worked, hunted, fished, hiked, and generally trekked across the entirety of ‘Big Sky Country’. I’m often inspired by what I see and experience, and it flows through my hands onto the piano. I literally “play the mountain” (The Missions), or “play the lake” (Light on the Lake). While I enjoy composing music of all kinds, when it comes to solo piano music, it’s just me, a piano, and the spirit of Montana. In this sense, I’m essentially an instrumental song-writer, telling the story of each Montana vignette that grabs my heart or stirs my soul. There is simply no place like Montana.

I hope you’ll join me on this musical journey that captures the feeling of the West, the beauty of the land, the spirit of its people, and the heart and soul of the place I call home.

I’m working on the release of my first fully-fledged album; The Spirit of Montana. It will be the first in a trilogy that I’ve now been working on for nearly 30 years. It better be good, right?! Please sign up below for updates and promotions.

Yellowstone in Four Seasons

from $19.95

My most recent music project has been composing and recording the soundtrack for Yellowstone in Four Seasons -- a remarkable look "behind the scenes" at Yellowstone National Park during each season of Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.

The program showcases the work of distinguished photographer and videographer Tom Murphy, who has spent decades trekking through Yellowstone, and often times in rather harsh conditions. This Montana PBS Program, produced and edited by Daniel Dauterive, highlights the very best of Yellowstone and the very best of Tom Murphy's videography. There is a special focus on all the various wildlife throughout the park; from bison and bears, to foxes and wolves, to elk and moose. The vast majority of the footage is off the beaten path -- so even if you have visited, or plan to visit, you won't see the majority of what's in this video.

Further, there is a special bonus feature of an extensive fly-over of Yellowstone set to my music "Where Eagles Soar". This is a must-have video for your collection!
