About Me

I'm a singer/songwriter, a guitar and mandolin player, and a meat and potatoes lover.The songs on this page give you an idea of my musical history. "Caesar's Palace" and "One for the Band" were recorded at the Sound Emporium here in Nashville. "Funky Music" is a tune that my old band Pie (winner 2004 Best Blues of Hartford Advocate readers poll) used to perform all the time. "Since You've Been Gone" is a tune that my brother and I like to play live. "The Wreckage" is more a singer/songwriter type tune.Artists/bands I have performed/recorded with include The Blaney Brothers, Pie, Mike Tierney & freinds, Bloomer, The Moneymakers, Backtalk, Nate Day, and Grand Fusion. I also hosted an acoustic open mic with my brother Rob for about 5 years.
