Bio
Played thousands of gigs (solo/duo/trio/accapella and full bands…originals and covers) and in hundreds of venues (pubs, clubs, theatres, casinos, river boats, indoor and festival concert stages, deserts, forests, aged persons homes, back-yards, front-yards, sheds, lounge rooms, corporate functions, gala ballroom charity events, biker parties, tropical isle conventions, food halls, footpaths, car-parks, beaches plus private functions such as birthdays and weddings and probably even more but I’m sure you get the idea). This all happened across Australia, plus in France from Aug 2002 until July 2004 and also from coast to coast in the USA with a large stint in New York City (3 - 4 nights per week), from September 1989 until June 1992.
From his catalogue exceeding 200 original songs, he self-produced two adult contemporary pop-rock albums on his boutique indie label, “Tomato Sauce Music”, the first of which retailed in France`s renowned FNAC. He is currently coordinating the release of the new album “Switchblade” to French radio and press and securing national distribution in readiness for a tour there with his band in the summer of 2007.
Received radio airplay & live-to-air interviews in New York, Australia and France (2003 & 2004).
Performed live on TV with interviews, in Australia (and in France - June 2004).
Opened for Joe Walsh of “The Eagles”, The re-formed Platters, The re-formed Stylistics, Brian Cadd (past musical director for Johhny Halliday - France) and various other famous Australian national and international acts (Divynals, Party Boys, Richard Clapton, Russel Morris, Cotton Keays & Morris) and more...
