I've been doing music for a living for some 10 years now. Wether it be coffee houses with a tip jar or multi-national tours. I even did a stint as a high school music teacher. I'm back in the capital district and want to play music and have fun. I'm not a big fan of negativity in the form of "I don't like that song so I don't want to play it". I don't mind playing any song. I'd rather play a song i can't stand than work a job I can't stand. That might explain some of the songs on this list:

As far as originals: I'm working on a solo record at the moment. It's a bit tough due to the fact that mid way through I decided to move back across the country. I'm about 12 songs in writing wise and 2 songs done being recorded.
As far as co-writing and production goes: I've worked doing anywhere from hard hitting rock to teen pop songs sung by girls.
