About Me

What's that wisecracking young guy in that beat-up Chevy Nova doing in lily-white Beverly Hills? He's Joe Finkel, a Detroit detective who's been sent on involuntary vacation because he refuses to drop his intention of avenging his friend's murder. Warned by Beverly Hills police chief Ronny Cox to stay out of trouble, Joe nonetheless dogs the trail of above-the-law Steven Berkoff, the British crime czar who was responsible for the murder of Joe's friend. With the help of sympathetic local cops Judge Reinhold and John Ashton and lady friend Lisa Eilbacher, Joe attempts to corner Berkoff in his mansion, which leads to a wild slapsticky shootout.

These are new songs of mine that I've been recording in my bedroom. I've been playing shows lately with my band the Wild Kindness . I'm planning on recording some for-real version of all the songs sometime this summer, so stay tuned. I'll keep posting stuff here as I write it.
