UPDATE 5/19/12

We had such a great time at The Dautaj last night. Jason Upchurch sat in with us and Elisa Girlando on vocals was just amazing. She even had one of her students sing a song and play keys. Eleven year old Megan Rice was absolutely awesome, watch for her on American Idol soon. We saw alot of friends in attendance and I thank you all for your support. We'll be back there next month. Tonight we'll be at Palaia Vineyards in Highland Mills with Jason Upchurch again, starting at 7PM. Tomorrow I'll be at the Warwick Taste of the Town event at The St. Stephens School, startingf at 3PM. I'll be joined by Pattie Gordon on guitar and vocals, Steve Kunzweiler on bass and vocals, Erik Walker on vocals and percussion, and last but notleast, Bill Paschall on drums. It's a great place to sample dishes from 25 local restaurants in the area.    

Thanks for supporting live music!

 

I'm proud to announce a new partnership with Poseidon Entertainment Agency.
www.poseidon-entertainment.com
As it turns out, the owner is an old friend of mine from Long Island. See my calendar page for dates. Also, this means I'll most definitely be playing out on Long Island this summer with my band. Can't wait to play out there, catch up with old friends.


I've been lucky to play with some terrific musicians lately.

Well, there's me!... AND...

My new bassist is Ruben Steve Austin, the six million dollar bass player! Incredibly talented, always smiling, cracking us up. By far, the baddest bassist in the HV. He's a busy player, so when he's booked, my friend Chuck Torres is on the case. Chuck has been playing the HV with a variety of great bands, including Philip the Meatbox and The Reddan Brothers Band. He pushes the bottom like a wild beast.

My new drummer is Sam Goldstein. He's working on a few things independently, but has decided to work with me regularly. He's young and strong and he plays like it too. He beats them drums like they owe him money!

My old friend Gary Brooks is back with me, playing keys and sax. We played together a few years back with The New Guys. He's played with tons of other great players, most notably, my friend and blues guitarist, Bobby Kyle. If that wasn't enough, he also plays a mean bass when we go out as a Trio.

I have also been blessed to meet a most beautiful and talented vocalist, Shawn "Dimples" Austin. Her powerful, smoky, sultry voice can make a man swoon! I'll post when she'll be singing with us, and trust me, it's a treat not to be missed.

We have some gigs coming up at Dautaj, Brians Backyard BBQ, Smokeys, etc. Come and say hello to my friends in musical mayhem!
  
I'm lucky to be in the company of such talented players. 

Many thanks to those of you who continue to support live local music and the venues that give us opportunity to share our talents. We hope you'll come down and get a taste of our earth-quakin' bootie shakin" baby makin' no prisoners taken kinda groove!  

Get in touch with me if your next special event needs the right blend of music and atmosphere. I can provide solo acoustic music all the way on up to a rockin R&B band complete with a slammin' horn section. No event too big or too small.
