About Me

Check out my music at MYSPACE.COM/STAGGERHOME
This singer/songwriter/musician from New York City is stuck in limbo, ferrying himself back-and-forth between the East Village of NYC and it's rough equivalent in the Grunerlokka district of Oslo, Norway, drifting in a music scene which spans the North Atlantic, from New York to Reykjavik to Oslo to Berlin to Paris to Brussels to Prague to Lisbon... and soon I will going to Australia!
Yep... I used to front a debaucherous New York band of 19th Century Lower East Side destitute vagrants called PIKER RYAN since 1997, and I also worked and matured in The Big Apple (graduated from bourbon to cognac) with KUNDERA. Now I'm working with my "solo" material on both sides of the big pond, with my band of French, German, American and Norwegian musicians, THE FALLEN BIRDS...
I have most recently joined forces with a French record label, and now do international relations, bookings and A&R for STAGGER RECORDS , which can also be found here on MySpace
For further info on my band and various music projects, which have been compared with everything from the likes of Tindersticks, Sixteen Horsepower and the Birthday Party, go check out STAGGER HOME MUSIC at www.StaggerHome.com
