Bio
...... .... I'm a NYC-based musician (keyboards, vocalist, & songwriter) who is a longtime member of the legendary Soul/Rock band, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes. I have, as a touring band member, toured with Bon Jovi on its Have A Nice Day World Tour and can often be seen performing with Jon Bon Jovi on his solo gigs--including a once-in-a-lifetime performance accompanying & singing with JBJ for President Obama at The White House this past December.. Once in a while, I'll sub for Paul Shaffer on the Late Show w/ David Letterman. Wrote and produced the theme song "Give Some More" for Madison Square Garden's Garden Of Dreams charity foundation. "Give Some More"--also featuring the wonderful Robert Randolph on steel guitar and sharing vocals with me-- is cranked through the Garden's speakers every night at Knicks and Rangers games. Originally from Lima, Ohio, studied Jazz piano and Composition at The Ohio State University & Morehead State University, and moved to NYC in the mid-Nineties. Since then, I have hit the Downtown scene with Chocolate Genius, toured and recorded with the Folk/Pop artist Dar Williams, played the Blues with guitarists G.E. Smith and Steve Cropper, laid down the Retro/Neo Soul with Ryan Shaw, written and arranged music for television, advertising, Broadway, award shows, and real life recording artists....and about 1,500 cool and a few not-so-cool gigs in between all of that other nonsense. Recorded in 1998, "No River" is my lone CD available at the moment. Recently Co-Produced (with John Lyon) the latest Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes CD "Pills And Ammo". I have managed to meet many of my heroes, share grand (some not-so-grand) stages with many of them, and see the world thanks to the Rock and Roll. This Trip has gone so much further than I could have ever dreamt..and I'm still a Fan. ....Currently, performing in NYC with my own music series called kazeedigs..a series of shows dedicated to playing the music that lives in Heavy Rotation on my iPod, turntable, and 8 track player.......check out myspace.com/kazeedigs for more kazeedigs stuff. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. -
