Part of the regional music scene for over forty years, I have been been an entertainer, drummer, keyboardist, guitarist, vocalist, and an ASCAP-affiliated songwriter and publisher who has performed hundreds of shows throughout New England, New York, Mexico, and with studio recording credits from New Hampshire to Arizona.
Awards won and nominations received include:
- with band SOMETHIN' ELSE- BEST COVER BAND - Worcester Phoenix Music Poll, 1999
- with band BEATLES FOR SALE- BEST TRIBUTE BAND IN NEW ENGLAND - Limelight Magazine, 2009, 2013, and 2014 -Runner-up winners, 2013; WINNERS- 2014
- with band BEATLES FOR SALE- BEST LIVE ACT -Pulse Magazine Music Awards, 2010; BEST TRIBUTE BAND -Pulse Magazine Music Awards, 2016
- As a solo artist: for original song “SILVER WISHES”- SONG OF THE YEAR Limelight Magazine New England Music Awards, 2012
- Original song "Something In The Air" reached #4 on the indie charts in parts of the UK.

Pop, lounge-rock, easy listening, oldies. 40 years experience.

I was a 15-year veteran of the northeast USA touring tribute band
Beatles For Sale, covering the parts of
Lennon and several of the McCartney/Harrison numbers when needed.
Will consider short-term stand-ins for a similar tribute band situation for concerts in MA or NH.

Would be open to exploring a situation with a female partner to add vocals (harmonies a MUST), light percussion, and/or bass for occasional performances. Familiarity with 1960s-1980s lighter rock and pop music preferred. Female vocals should be in the neighborhood of Linda Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter, Carly Simon, Stevie Nicks and the like. No screamers, wanna-be stars, drugs or alcohol please.
