About Me

Grew up in Ct. First band, singer in punk band replacing my older brother who went of to college. Started played bass then switched to guitar. Started writing songs and formed first real band, the Suburbanites (ruralites would have been closer to the truth). Broke up and formed the Stray Divides with city folk Mark Mulcahy, Spike Priggen, and Ray Neal. Mark and Ray would later form Miracle Legion. Moved to Boston to form DUMPTRUCK with Seth Tiven. Left Dumptruck, formed Boo Radley (not the Boo Radleys). Played and toured with Steve Wynn, Russ Tolman, John Wesley Harding, etc. Recorded first solo record. Recorded second solo record.
