Hi, welcome to my page. I've been playing music since I was a kid. It's my passion and my life. I teach guitar and bass out of my home studio and at Mon Valley music store in Monongahela.
I currently facilitate several hand drumming events around the Mon Valley and the Pittsburgh area. Please check my listings for dates and times. I drum at Chaney's Natural Wellness in Charleroi on the third Thursday of each month from 7-9. I am at the Mon Valley YMCA with Jason Cursi every second Wednesday of each month from 6:30-8:30.
I am working now with Reiki and reflexology out of Chaney's Natural Wellness in Charleroi, soon to be working in her other offices in South Hills Village and near the Ross Park Mall. We will be hosting healing circles (reiki exchanges), meditation groups, and Reiki classes in the near future. If you are interested in any of this please drop me a line and I'll give you all the contact info.
My first self released album, OPENING, is out now. You can buy it from CDBaby, direclty from me, or in select new age retailers and/or wellness centers in the Pittsburgh area. The Open Mind bookstore in Sewickley, Chaney's Natural wellness in Charleroi, and The Green Bough in Irwin are great places, tell them I sent you.
I feel music and healing go hand in hand. I love to read, especially books dealing with spirituality, philosophy, eastern thought, shamanism, science, quantum field theory, whatever. As long as I am learning something it's all good. I love to study all the different viewpoints and see that they are usually all right in essence. I would love to hear your opinion, drop me a line sometime. I like to meditate. I like to work out. I lovelovelove ice cream. I study martial arts. I have been blessed in all these endeavors with great teachers and mentors all around.
By all means drop me a line for more info or to get on my mailing list. I hope to see you at an event.
Thanks for stopping by.

Mark Dignam has been bumping into Paul Luc and Ben Shannon a lot, at Treelady Studios, where they are all working, on their upcoming albums. They admire each others work so much, they decided to put together what promises to be, a mini singer/songwriter festival.. Watch for special guests and a very memorable night at The Rex Theater, 1602 East Carson Street. Pittsburgh, PA 15203. 8pm. $10.
