About Me



Greetings, I'm a singer/songwriter/ guitar player/ assistant engineer and (brand new Daddy of little Sarah Madison.) I also currently front the band CRUSHING DAY. As a performer in several bands, over the years I have shared the stage w/ such diverse national acts as THE BLACK CROWES, PUDDLE OF MUDD, JOAN JETT, HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH, PAT MCGEE BAND, SOUP DRAGONS, OCEAN BLUE, THE HOOTERS, DINOSAUR Jr., SR-71, JIMMIESCHICKENSHACK, KEVIN KADISH, ALDO NOVA, (yes) SUGAR HILL GANG and several others. Having finished the Recording/ Engineering course @ Sheffield Institute For The Recording Arts, I am now booking and will be assisting sessions at two local studios outside of Baltimore (read my latest blog) along w/ setting up my own home-studio for personal use. Currently I am recording and having fun w/ an all original project where I've written all lyrics, co-producing and singing on all vocal tracks on an 11-song demo we are currently finishing up. I will be posting some tracks in the near future on a new myspace. In the mean time, check out songs off the CRUSHING DAY-CD "RADIO FOOLS" @ (www.myspace.com/crushingday), (www.crushingday.com) or (www.myspace.com/bdfordsong). Feel free to leave me a message anytime and I'll be sure to get back to you. Hope to see you @ a show soon. PEACE,B
