Get Your Feel Good Rockin' Pop Right Here!!!

About Me

As you cruise these pages, fans of power pop should find this to be a comfortable stop. The Goldbergs, is the vehicle I use to put out my brand of rockin’ pop. My music is guitar driven rock that I try to keep simple, accessible, and full of energy.In November of 2006, I released a full length album entitled"Hooks, Lines & Sinkers" (available at Kool Kat Musik, Not Lame Records, Jam Records, CD Baby & iTunes). My follow up record "Under The Radar" is available NOW! I’m proud to announce that Kool Kat Musik is releasing "Under The Radar" on their very own label (thanks Ray!). Also, I’m privileged to report that on 8 of the 11 tracks I’m joined by NYC session greats Rich Pagano on drums (The Fab Faux, Prisoners of 2nd Ave.) and John Conte on bass (Prisoners of 2nd Ave., The Contes). As always, my efforts would never see the light of day were it not for Paul Umbach’s guiding hand (Producing/Mixing). Contact Kool Kat Musik online and order a copy of "Under The Radar" and receive a free bonus disc entitled "Blips & Bleeps" that contains 5 additional demo tracks...AGREVIEWSUNDER THE RADAR (Released 2/08)"All the tunes are fantastic...This is easily on my best of 2008 list. Don’t miss it."
- Powerpopaholic (2/24/08)"Goldberg is simply a whiz at writing songs that seep into your pores and stay there...an album that is jam-packed with a whole lot of goodness."
- Buhdge (3/16/08)"Picking up where its predecessor left off, Under The Radar is 11 winning tracks of power pop... Hearing a followup of this quality is quite gratifying."
- Absolute Powerpop (3/19/08)"Neither trendy nor flashy, the Goldbergs will never be mistaken for the flavor of the month. They’ll have to seek solace in their collective genius."
-Amplifier (3/20/08)"Under the Radar is the best album I’ve heard so far this year...with 11 perfectly cut gem like songs full of compelling melodies, indelible hooks and buoyant harmonies."
- Seattle Powerpop (3/26/08)HOOKS, LINES & SINKERS (Released 11/06)"Wow. Let me say that again: Wow. This one came out of nowhere...my jaw dropped at how good it is..."
- Absolute Power Pop (11/21/06)
"This album is proof that some of the best music out there remains unsigned talent...(Hooks, Lines & Sinkers) is on my short list for album of the year."
- Powerpopaholic (11/18/06)"...The Goldbergs achieve near power-pop perfection...(they’ve) given us ten songs that are awfully hard not to get hooked by."
- Amplifier "An awe-inspiring, stunning release that’s got ’classic’ written all over it!"
- Kool Kat Musik"Don’t miss this one, one of the very best pop cds of the year!!! GRADE A"
- Jam Records"(Hooks, Lines & Sinkers) is tailor made for folks who like classic forms of rock songcraft, when AM radio was a soundtrack for summer nights."
- Fufkin.com"Hooks, Lines & Sinkers is as snappy and crisp as they come...it doesn’t get much better than this."
