About Me

D-Day (now "Fight Back"), my old punk band, broke up in May 2004. I wrote my first acoustic song at about that same time. Since then: ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- I self-released a 7 song EP ("My Declaration") in March 2005, sold about a hundred copies of it, and discontinued it in October 2005....................I've opened for Kaki King, moe, Chad Elmhurst (ex-Dispatch/State Radio), Ryan Fitzsimmons, Roz Raskin, and Mike Cellemme among others....................I play guitar, sing backup vocals, and write music for Jared Paul & the Dead Sober Band....................I began hosting the Providence Poetry Slam Singer/Songwriter open mic at AS220 (every third Thursday!!!) in January 2007....................I also compose electronically with the Reason program....................I was nominated for "Best Male Vocalist" in Motif Magazine's Annual Music Awards poll in April 2007.....................June 2007 saw my first official release - a 9 song, self-titled CD. You can pick up a copy at a show, at certain local independent record stores, or you can contact me via e-mail ([email protected]) to get one through the mail. It'll cost ya $5, kid ($6 w/shipping)....................Plans for 2008 include booking numerous shows, recording the band album, writing/recording my next solo album, and staying positive about the future......................I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
