Sounds Like
Folk songs and ambient rock. Dark and melencholy at times but bright and humorous at others. I thrash out thoughts and feelings regarding politics, crime, unrequited love, alienation and the all-around human condition. The songs are filled with cinicism, and humor and deprication of self and society. Not to mention, lust, longing and the eternal search for beauty, whatever that is.
My lyrics tend to be political, satirical, and even at times romantic, awww.
It's a hybrid of folk, rock, blues, classical and the unknown. 2 major Genres: Folk & Ambient Rock.
I come from the dark smoky suburbs of Central Long Island/Suffolk County. I spent 7 years up in New Paltz mellowing like a fine but bitter wine and developing my sound. While there I headed two bands: "Callisto Square" and "HotBed". Now I am living in Manhattan and trying to play as much as I can. If you're reading this and want to book a new act in the genres of either folk, indie or ambient rock (such as I'm calling it) drop me a line.
Venues: Bars, concert halls, coffee shops, the street etc. I would also be willing to share a night with one of you other musicians if you have a spot for me. If Im free Ill do it. I also love to collaborate w/ other artists and I improvise on guitar or synth. Current goals include getting my music played on Radio (NPR) making movie soundtracks or contribute to a movie soundtrack and ofcourse play lots of shows all over and finish my albums.
Listen to the music and tell me what you think. If you'd like me post additional/new songs or if you'd like a CD w/ many more songs Or If you would like to have any of the lyrics to read, email your request to me & I'll hook you up.

Apart from being one of those comments you rightfully hate with all your divine powers this also happens to be...well, my stupid attempt to leave a trace in your frontal lobe that'll last more than 10 seconds. I don't believe it'll work. Then again, I believe in unbelievable things.
The album. Download it. Either on iTunes or for free. Let it breathe on your playlist for a while. It will grace your chips, wires, ears. It'll make your aura shine. Then again, maybe you don't like presents. Which is perfectly fine.
