About Me

Greetings!
I am a New York City-based freelance bassist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer.
All of my Top Friends are artists with whom I have performed or recorded--make sure to check them out!
I've been lucky enough to work a lot! I've been signed to several cool labels, including Elektra. I've played several thousand gigs with close to 100 different bands at venues ranging from hay wagons to soccer stadiums. I've also done a good amount of writing and recording, and commercial music for The Philadelphia Phillies, the FUSE Network, and Victory Beer. Best of all, I've had the privilege of jamming with some of my all-time musical heroes, including New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint, Nashville legend Charlie McCoy, and New York legends Blue Oyster Cult.
Have a listen to the songs above for a small sample of my recorded bass playing and take a look at my calendar to see when, where, and with whom I am performing. I check this page often so please feel free to send me a message here!
I am also the lead singer and bass player of the mod/power-pop band TROUBLE CLUB .
For information on Trouble Club, visit www.troubleclub.com or www.myspace.com/troubleclub .
PLEASE NOTE: All shows listed here are subject to change--check with me or the venue to confirm. Thanks!
