I was a pianist first, starting lessons at age 3. It wasn’t until I got cast in my first actor/musician show, Honky-Tonk Highway in 1996, that I started to learn other instruments. Today I play proficiently on piano, guitar, accordion, and upright bass. I can play a little banjo and mandolin as well, and for fun I’ve taken up the bodhran (Irish frame drum)! My first and favorite instrument, though, is my voice. I never, ever feel more myself than when I’m singing the words of Jane Kenyon to the music of my dear friend, Graham Sobelman.
