About Me

I'm the vocalist and acoustic guitarist for The Pubcrawlers who are based out of Portland, Maine. We've been busy playing shows throughout the Northeast and writing songs for our upcoming CD “One Too Many Again”, due to hit the bins by August 2007. Like I said, we've been friggin'. So far this year we've played at the Shamrock Fest in Washington DC with The Street Dogs and Flogging Molly, The Old Port Festival, and some great shows in the Boston and Portland areas. If that isn't enough, we were just nominated as the “Best Punk Act” in Portland by The Phoenix (April '07). Pretty effn cool.

Prior to joining The Pubcrawlers, I spent some time writing material for a project that I was just getting off the ground kown as The Working Class Stiffs. In fact, I had been looking through the musicians classifieds for band mates when I came across The Pubcrawlers' ad for a new singer.

My songwriting is influenced by punk, ska, and alternative bands of the late 70's and early 80's. When bands like The Clash, and The Specials, were just getting started (and breaking apart) and The Pogues were only heard at 2 A.M. on college radio stations like Emerson's WERS.
