About
I have been drawn to music for as long as I can remember. Few things in life move me like music does. I feel I have had little choice but to listen, learn, write and perform.
I am a singer-songwriter and classically-trained baritone. I have published dozens of songs over a few CDs. I won one national songwriting award and an NSAI regional chapter competition. Stylistically, most of my songs are considered Americana, but that’s a broad term. I hear the influence of rock, jazz, reggae and popular musicians. Other than Frank Zappa, few of my influences are baritones, if any. In this way, I find myself in unfamiliar territory. All I can do is to explore and see what I can make of it.
My performance credits include Nassau Colosseum, the Jeanne Rimsky Theater, Eisenhower Park, the Bitter End in NYC, Patchogue Theatre, Vail-Levitt Music Hall, WinterTide, SongBreak, and The Hard Luck Café. My songwriter credits include the Alma Mater for Dowling College (We Stand Taller). I wrote many songs for the Gone Tribe over the years including the critically acclaimed ’HOBO Project’ which aired nationally on the American Radio Works program and performed at the debut, off-Broadway in New York City. I also appeared in numerous operas with Opera Pro Vocé across Long Island.
Most of my recordings are currently unavailable except for a couple of songs on ReverbNation. There are links on this website to my social media pages and anything else music-related.
