I've been seen at NY/NJ/PA Area bars,coffee houses, festivals. Some of my music has found its way onto local US as well as international radio.
Eclectic taste here. From songwriters and musicians like Billy Joel, Elton John, Steely Dan, even to Yes, Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead. The genius of Lennon/McCartney cannot be understated when it comes to song construction and thinking out of the box. I also love everything from Taylor Swift to the Weekend.
I use ProTools for my recording. Fender Electrics,Takamine/BreedLove and Martin Accoustics, Korg Keyboards
