About Me

My first band was an Archies cover band when I was 6... I played all of the instruments and did all of the singing and dancing. My next door neighbor, Kent Charles, was my roadie. Since then... Romy Kaye and the Swingin' Gates, The Shapiro's, Romy Kaye and the All-Nighters, Romy Kaye Trio, Triptych Jazz Trio, Gay Piano Bar DivaKitty, Buddy Blue and about ten years of Exile on Kettner on Christmas Eve with the Dragons... party like a rock star!
