Despite what I was told as a boy…

..singing is for everyone

Singing is your birthright

Yes, you!

  • Anytime Ian shares his gifts with our community, the impact continues forward in message and music.

  • I would rather sing with Ian at Open Hub than go to any concert. It’s like being a part of a band!

  • [Ian's] workshop was a highlight of the weekend for me.

  • [Ian's leadership] gave me space and safety to socially open my voice up completely to a group of people. The songs we sang have extreme value and meaning to my recovery.

Hi there - I am a community songleader, musician, grief-tender songwriter and K-8 music teacher based in my hometown of Bend, Oregon

This site is a home base for my quiver of offerings:

I have facilitated meaningful, inclusive, fun singing events for organizations like the Deschutes Public Library, Sisters Folk Festival, Confederation of Oregon School Administrators, Bethlehem Inn, Dancing Rabbit Eco-Village, Legacy Healthcare, REALMS Middle School, Creativity Australia, Oregon Synod, 12-step Conventions and others.

I love helping people of all kinds remember their birthright to sing together! I’d love to sing with you and your people soon.
