Tolkien Project

I have enjoyed the beauty of Tolkien's writing and poetry since childhood. One day, while reading through the poem Where Now the Horse and the Rider? I took my guitar and wrote a simple melody to fit the words. Since then I have written many other songs to Tolkien's poetry and am slowly working on sharing them all. 

Over ten years ago I started sharing a few of my songs on YouTube, including one of my most loved songs "Legolas's Song of the Sea". I have received so many encouraging comments and over 250,000 views on that song alone! 

After a move, a renovation and having a baby, I finally feel I can begin focusing again on writing and recording my music in whatever spare time I can find! Even though I still only have a very small recording system, (one microphone!) I hope to produce the best quality recordings that I can, and continue developing my skills, while maintaining the emotion and passion of each song. 

Feel free to view my videos below. The Road Goes Ever On and On, Tom Bombadil's Song, Firelight Festival and The Last Homely House (the last two with original poetry) are my most recently published pieces, and the others were recorded a number of years ago.

Please leave me a comment on YouTube. I love hearing from you!

NOTE: ​When I first recorded this song years ago I mispronounced the word "Dúnedain". I was finally able to correct the pronunciation, and would love to share it with everyone!
