Short and sweet. A songwriter from Northeast Pennsylvania. He's been called
"One of the most gifted songwriters to emerge at the turn of the century"
by the esteemed All Music Guide.
He's written hundreds of songs for his own records, for other artists,
for movie soundtracks, for theatrical productions, and sometimes just because he doesn't sleep very well (or very often). He was the founder of the now-defunct songaweek.com,
where he contributed one brand new song (for free) every week for over
5 years.
His latest release is 2008's Auctioneer,
20 new songs available via download for only $9.99
