About Me

I write and sing songs. Folk songs, in the tradition of Bob, Neil, Woody, Cat, and Chapin. My acoustic, harmonica and I try to recreate the rhythms and melodies I find riding Jersey Transit or walking through Hoboken.Whether at open mics or on stage I find myself channeling a little folk, a little blues, and a little country and most of the time people seem to dig it.I've recorded a few DIY CD's on my 4-Track and G4, as well as one at Mutiny Zoo Studios in Newark, with Kill Audio on the knobs.So if you need a folk rock singer/songwriter to play a show, or if you like what you hear, give me a holler.I like to keep things simple. Let me know what you think.

Well, that's one down.

It's official. My first Maxwell's gig is in the books and I'm wearing part of the guitar strap on my wrist as proof. Strange feeling being a performer in a bar I've been in so many times.&...
