New Band

Exciting news guys!
I have a full band now in Brooklyn.
We have played a few shows recently, and I hae been so overwhelmed by the response.
We now have Jeremy Carlstedt on Drums, Chris Cuzme on Bass, and David Cinquegrana on guitar. I couldn't ask for a better bunch of boys to be on stage with.
Plus they really care about their outfits. I got about 30 text messages on if they should wear skinny ties, or wide ties at the last show.
Boys will be boys! Ha!

Shows, shows, shows

The show at Tammany went really well. It has always been my favorite thing to be able to quiet down a a loud bar.
I'm playing again next week, and can't wait. It's time to take the bull by the horns.
I've truly never been happier then when I'm on stage. It's a calm that comes over me.
Til next week!

New Music

I've started writing a new album, and am so excited about it.
I also have a show coming up next week at a new venue, and am trying to pack the place out. Let's make it happen!

Back in New York

 Sometimes I think you truly do need to sit in the middle of nowhere for a few days. I am still only semi-concious from jetlag, but so happy to see my guitar.  After a packed house for my last show in NY, I'm trying to figure out my next step. It was my first time really feeling comfortable talking on stage. I'm sure having one of my bestfriends next to me playing guitar helped, but I've always been...the silent type on stage. Now it's just a whole bunch of talking people. Get ready! "You know what else I was thinking...."

Boom

 Finally got the new site up! I'm currently doing my happy dance that I will be posting later. 
 Just wanted to say thanks for all the support from all the people that have been listening to my music for the last decade. Hugs!
