Music is the best.
I’ve played a lot of music over the course. I owe my love of my music to my mother, who introduced me to classic country as a child in the suburbs of New Jersey. I remember signing along with her to records and AOR radio. Kenny Rogers was my first musical hero 🙂 In time, I discovered The Beatles and classic rock and eventually started singing in my first real band in college. Many other musical collaborations followed in Vermont and San Francisco. My studies and performance in voice, percussion and guitar have run gamut of genres from rock, jazz, soul, prog and pop.
These days I’m performing solo, voice and acoustic guitar, both happy originals and lovable covers – The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Laurel Canyon hits and some classic country for good measure. Stay tuned for more tunes and live performances!
The Real Numbers
My last band was a power pop quartet called The Real Numbers. We released three albums that you can listen to (and purchase!) on Bandcamp.com, and are finishing up one more to make four. Here are a few select tunes I wrote and recorded with The Real Numbers that I am particularly proud of.
The Wiggle PSA
My greatest musical accomplishment to date may well be this fairly absurd, somewhat educational ode to San Francisco’s beloved bicycle route, The Wiggle.
I wrote the music, recorded it with The Real Numbers, convinced my bandmates and 70 friends to spend a day filming a bike party in the Panhandle, then wrangled the footage into the clip above which has been viewed over 20,000 times.
