ABOUT

Gigging on an off with various bands for 35 years; Just moving back to NYC (Hell's Kitchen area) and looking to connect with a cool group of folks to gig (and write) around NY area. Been doing some recording over the past year, but took some time off during Covid from performing and now looking to join local cover and/or originals band for fun, gigging, etc. Interested in multiple genres, but particularly classic rock/yacht rock, singer song writer, R&B, Blues, some pop (the good stuff -:)). No drama, please. Looking for easy going, fun group of folks who want to make awesome music.

Have uploaded 3 original tunes from my old group Newtons Firnas which are in the more adult contemporary style, but I play just about everything.
