I have over twenty years of writing, recording and performing experience. These days I'm getting more into production and recording, i.e., assisting artists and bands with their songs and sounds.
I recently finished songs for Laura Monzo's upcoming CD. Check out Laura's page to hear a few finished songs. I've posted home demo arrangements of her songs Oh So Wonderful and This To That here to give you an idea of what I can do on my own.
Currently, I'm working with Dale Lakata and Michael Ambrosio.
I was a founding member of Happysad (singer/guitar), Gretna Greene (bass), Exploder! (singer/guitar), Glueneck (guitar) and The Great Unwashed (guitar).
I've also played guitar or bass for Kama Linden, Danny White, Josh Zuckerman, Domestic Short Hairs, X-Men, Ribeye Brothers, Chowboxx (Euro-80's covers) and Shabby Road (a hard rockin' Beatles tribute).
I have a new band in the works, Dear Mr. Popjoy. I hope to find the time get one of my newer songs recorded as well.
In 2001, I released my debut solo CD "The Fine Art of Forget Me Not".
Since then I've contributed tunes to Main Man Records compilation CD's, most notably two original sets and two tribute projects dedicated to the music of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. A few of those tracks are here.
My current solo recordings are done at home and at Livewire Studio with Mick Seeley. Mick plays keyboards and has worked with Ronnie Spector, Dan Hartman, Southside Johnny, Bobby Bandiera and Bon Jovi.
As a solo artist, I've opened for Steve Forbert, Howard Jones, Bill Janovitz (Buffalo Tom), Pat DiNizio (Smithereens), Freedy Johnston, Chuck Prophet and Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks.
