Ian began writing at age four when he reportedly conquered the word
"cat." Sixteen years later, he wrote his first song, though the results
were not, relatively speaking, quite as impressive. Things have gotten
better since then, and Ian has performed his songs throughout the
northeast at venues such as Club Passim's Campfire Festivals; Stone
Soup; and the Emerging Artist Showcase at the 2008 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.
Of Ian's songwriting, no less an authority than Vance Gilbert actually
said : "He can obviously construct a lyric better than I ever could." Of
course, he could have gone on and said: "Ian captures breaths from the
mouths of angels and pieces them gently together into the words and
phrases that not even those heavenly creatures would dare speak," but he
absolutely did not say that, and for good reason.
Regardless,
Ian has self-released three albums of his own songs since 2004 and is
celebrating this autumn the release of his fourth album, Empty Like The
Lion Den, on independent label Dirt Floor Records
