About Me

CLICK HERE to download free cMAS EP!!
Growing up, I had one dream, and one dream only – to be Batman. The older I get, the more I realize that my chances of becoming the Dark Knight are rather slim. For one, I have no money, and Bruce Wayne had billions of dollars. Also, I’ve never been in a fight. And what can you know about yourself if you’ve never been a fight? However, I do live two lives of sorts. By day, I am a college professor. But by night, I am a brooding singer/songwriter, stalking the streets of New York City with my piano in tow. Actually, I don’t have my piano in tow, because that would be impractical. But I am brooding.

Last Fall, I released two new EPs. The first EP - Thank God He Didn't Make You A Fan, was self-produced and recorded with some bass/drums assistance from my friends in Pennsylvania and Vermont. While that record was off being mastered/packaged, I decided it would probably be lonely when it was ready for release. So, I put together a second EP - Good Times Were Had By All - recorded all by my lonesome in my Manhattan apartment. Both EPs are available for immediate download above or on iTunes . Thank God He Didn't Make You A Fan is also available through Amazon .
Currently, I am in the studio making a new record which is expected to be released in April 2008. The album will feature Ira Richards on drums, Matt Burge on bass, and some other special guests. The tentative title is I've Never Been Fond Of Falling From Heights (Swan Dive Into The Atlantic). Once the record is finished, I will be back at pianos all over the country to support it. So, see you all soon!!
