I Want You To Want ME!

About Me

HelloI'm a singer/songwriter/rocker originally from Reading PA now located in Norristown. I'm looking to form a band around me of other talented singer/songwriters in hopes of getting a Beatles type of project going. I have one solo album entitled To The End of The Earth which I release on my own in late 2006. I play guitar, piano, and a variety of other instruments. Check out my material and drop me a line about playing music together, doing a show, or just if you like what you heard here. Update: I have a great guitarist, drummer, and piano/keyboard player, but I still really need a bass player. The more influenced by McCartney the better!
