About Me

[email protected]
Overall, I'm just another person with a musical hobby. Playing around and recording new music with my awesome friends is something I love to do, and I plan on doing it for the rest of my life. At the moment, you can hear a few of our "works in progress," and when we fix a few things there just might be enough material for a full length CD. In the meantime, enjoy what's here and be sure to see us play whenever you get the chance. We are posting upcoming shows as they develop.
If this "bio" hasn't satisfied your curiosity just yet, here ya go:
When I'm not composing, recording, or promoting music, I am either running, stuffing my face full of food, and/or watching episodes of MST3K. I also enjoy supporting other local musicians with my quiet, yet clearly visible, attendance. So maybe I'll see you out on the town.
ONE MORE THING... I also book acoustic sets for the Muddy Cup Coffee House in CATSKILL. Let me know if you're a musician interested in booking a show there and I'll set it up. Likewise, my band is available for shows upon request. Just drop me a line and we can work something out. We're always ready to rock in new places with new faces! Hope to hear from you soon.

LAST NIGHTS SHOW!

Thank you all for your enthusiasm! It was great to see so many familiar faces in "the crowd." We had a blast and owe it all to YOU. It would never be as much fun if no one was there ...

UGLY
