Electric Pinecone

About Me

Electric Pinecone is the pseudonym of a primarily acoustic musician who was born in New Rochelle, New York; raised in Derry, New Hampshire, and has also lived in Seaside, California; Denver, Colorado; Taos, New Mexico; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Essex County, New Jersey. In 2008, he and his special lady became residents of Lincoln Park, Chicago, Illinois. A founding member of ABO, Inc., a folk trio from NYC with doo wop/heavy metal roots, Electric Pinecone is also part of the NJ group We Do the Math for You, which began in the Seton Hall University English Department and evolved into a cover band that plays a wicked lot of Beatles, Radiohead, Vaselines, and Shins. Taking after his late grandfather, he believes every sunset he’s seen is the best he’s ever seen.Save The World - One Click At A Time!
