...and I .....I live by the river.

About Me

I have performed with: The Drifters, George Rabbai, The Penguins, Chuck Loeb, The Dovells, Jim Heffernan, the Kidney Stones in the UK, Big Swing Face as well as many others and recorded with Paul Evans on his awesome recent CD "Agua Noir" (available at CD Baby, iTunes and other internet joints) as well as the CD "High and Broad" by David May and the DTM Project. I have performed at: The Venetian Hotel and Casino (Las Vegas), Gravesend, Kent (UK), Ballys, Caesars, Trump Marina, Taj Mahal and Plaza, the Tropicana and Hilton Casinos (Atlantic City), Zanzibar Blue (Philadephia and Wilmington), Warmdaddy's, Chris' Jazz Cafe, Red Hot & Blue, the Sofitel, the Mainline Jazz Festival, the Burlington Riverfront Jazz Festival (Philly Area), Musikfest (Bethlehem, PA), Troubador's (West Virginia), various corporate events, weddings and one time I worked at a muskrat dinner in the middle of the Pine Barrens (um, it doesn't taste like chicken). If there is a creepy dive bar at the corner of your street, I'd say there's a 99% chance I've worked that room too. I am an Adjunct Professor of Music at a local college and also have a large number of private students studying both guitar and bass. I am an alumnus of Berklee College of Music. I can levitate. I like seafood.
