Nostalgia isn't what it used to be!

About Me

Originally from Baltimore, Im now living in southern York County, Pennsylvania. I am a guitarist/singer/songwriter. At times I play a little mandolin, mandocello, banjo and harmonica, too.

I grew up listening to lots of old blues and ragtime and started trying to figure that stuff out at a very young age. I was into the folk scene at a young age, too, listening to Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell. The Beatles were also a big influence.

I have an internet radio station called Songside.com where I play lots of live recordings of friends and shows I have produced.

I'm also a DJ on "The Folk Show" which airs weekends on public radio at WPSU .

I run a concert series and open mike with friends called the Wagon Shed Concert Series .

I also produce many concerts, festivals, and fundraising events for non-profit orginazations with my company,Entertainment Consultants .
