   About Lone Monk
"The best rock and roll to be recorded in New Mexico since Buddy Holly and the Crickets cranked it out at Norman Petty's Studio in Clovis." -King Conniption “Portolano has played a weird brand of acoustic roots punk (really) as the Lone Monk for about a decade.” Jonanna Widner- Santa Fe Reporter Since arriving in Santa Fe in 2005 from N.J. he has played shows with folks like Jono Manson, Joe West, and Boris McCutcheon. Recorded "Incantations" at Jono’s mountain hide-out studio and it may actually one day get released. Have been a guest on KBAC Radio Free Santa Fe with Honey Harris, and also on KSFR Santa Fe Public Radio on the shows of Diego Mulligan and Pete Williams. Lead singer/guitarist of the Vicious Beatniks since 1990. Played the N.Y./N.J. scene with many different line-ups at places like CBGB’s, the Scrap Bar and the Continental Divide Released 7” on Winged Disk records in 1992, and a few cassette only releases over the years that are now collected as a CD compilation accurately called “Old Habits, Die Hard.” “Love And Loss” demo EP recorded before leaving NJ. Have had poetry and photographs published in many diverse publications. Need a change of scenery heading further West. Vaya con Dios.
