About me: As a hobby, I sing in the New York City based U2 tribute band "Unforgettable Fire" (aka UF), established in January, 1995 as one of the first premiere U2 tribute bands to perform in America and now the longest running in the country...
Please visit my band's website at www.uf2.com, and if you are a U2 fan, please come out to see UF perform in a major northeast coast city near you (NY, NJ, CT, PA, MA).
