Len originally hails from Mobile, Alabama, but grew up mostly as a "yankee" all around the Northeastern U.S. Upon graduating from College in Buffalo, where the seeds of his musical career were born, he relocated to Hawaii, to begin a career as a teacher, and a part-time musician. While there, he ran the only open-mic on the Island at the time, and honed his acoustic skills. In 1996 He moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he quickly rose up through the open-mic scene, and began performing in coffeehouses and bars. Forming a duo, called Radio Theory, Len branched out into starting to make some money with his music, and called in his brother and some additional musicians to help flesh out the full band sound and start to travel. Upon realizing that the band could not do what they wanted to do with the scene there, the entire band up and moved to Atlanta, GA, where they could use the city as the perfect base for their touring and recording. After being on the road for 5 years, touring every college town and hitting every bar and club that could be discovered, the band took a hiatus in the summer of 2005. At the moment, Len is currently performing as a solo and duo acoustic act once more, and putting a lot of time and work into his booking agency, BHJ Entertainment. He is currently beginning work on a new album, and while still pursuing his own performing career, is also helping many local and regional level musicians find gigs and help with their careers.

Musical Style:

Len definitely has his "own" style of performing. He likes to take cover material and change and adapt it meet his sense of rhythm and timing. He performs songs from the early classic rock period through today, covering many different styles of music. His voice has been described as unique, and truly soulful.. He seems to get a lot of comparisons to the vibes of Dave Matthews, Jerry Garcia, John Mayer, and many others. Depending on the type of gig, Len can tailor his set to appease almost any audience, ranging from nice quiet mellow tunes, to a full on rock-fest.
