Biography
I've always loved Dylan, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, and Harry Chapin. I dig Woody Guthrie, the Kinks, Johnny Cash, Beck, Townes Van Zandt, and Devandra Banhart a lot, too. With their help, I've been able to find a voice. My voice. Where I profess my love, vent my anger, and have some fun. I play harmonica and sing over chords and rhythms I find walking down the street or along the water. My songs are simple, not shallow. Inspired by the poetry of train whistles and street traffic.
Over the past five years, I've recorded four albums, guerilla style, in my apartment on 4-track and G4. I live in , NJ. I've upgraded since then. I've played at the Goldhawk, and Maxwell�s, here in town, and the 169 Bar and Parkside Lounge across the river in NYC. I�ve performed in shows with Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets, the incomparable Alejandro Escovedo, the mighty Stephen Malkmus, among others.
I've recently been selected for a Stump Junction Records Compilation titled "Heroes of Suburbia" and Crusty Records� �the Acrustic Age Vol. II� compilation.
