I've been a performing artist/singer/songwriter for 30 something years, as both a soloist and lead singer for several bands.
Mostly these days I am writing and recording new material.

Yes I play live as a solo, and provide music programs for health facilities, weddings, private parties and special events. Also the occasional gig with a few local bands, at clubs, outdoor concerts , and charitable events throughout Southern New England. I love the interaction of playing and creating with other musicians, there is just nothing can compare to that.
I sing in many different styles, and have enjoyed demoing songs for other artists as well .
Joni Mitchell ,Patsy Cline, Eva Cassidy,Karla Bonoff, Martina McBride , Judy Collins, Joan Baez, KD Lang, Poco,Tom Waits, Bonnie Raitt.,George Benson, Luther Vandross, Bad Company, Asleep At The Wheel,,Sade, Michael Franks, Dianna Krall, Billie Holiday , John David Souther, too many more to list.....
For speakers I use JBL Eons 2 15s & 2 10s . I have both the powered and non powered. I like Audix microphones for my vocal . I play a Guild F47CE Grand Auditorium acoustic electric.
.... love everything about writing and playing music, except for the drama of people who think they're above others and use their "attitudes" to get what they want. I believe you get a lot further in the long run by treating people the way you'd like to be treated....
