Greetings!

 I have a new Christmas album coming out  December 2nd called "THE HOLIDAY FAIR".  It was recorded between December 13th and 23rd, 2007 in the living rooms of friends all across New England.  This year it finally hits the streets and trails! The album is a numbered limited edition of 500 that is silk screened by yours truly, and includes a coloring book as the inside booklet... yes! All the songs contained on this album are original, with many special guests appearing throughout.

Of course there are a few CD release shows to promote the album. The first one is tomorrow night December 2nd at TOAD in Cambridge, MA. I start playing at 8PM then Audrey Ryan takes the stage at 9:30PM.

Please stop by for some holiday cheer - it will be nice to see your face. Rosy elf cheeks are optional.

I'm working on finishing up my new record " LINCOLN STREET ROUGHS" by the middle of February, 2007 releasing it sometime thereafter with help from a label ( your name here).

 I began laying down tracks up in Portland Maine this past summer, and returning now to finish the whole dilly up. It's being engineered by an old art school friend of mine Ron Harrity who I have been collaborating with since 1993. Ron is part of a local Portland band called " The Harpswell Sound " damn they're good! Most of the record was recorded in the comforts of  his living room over a few dotted weekends throughout the summer of 2006. Pancakes, yardsales and rootbeer helped put some flavor into this album. Other musicians on this album include, Kris Day and Mike Dank( King Memphis), Dave Talmage ( Mill City Ramblers), Juliet Nelson ( Tigersaw) and Ron Harrity ( The Harpswell Sound). There will be more to tell at a later point.

I thank you for checking up on little ol' me!

Hello Everyone!!!!

 I just wanted to let everyone and their Momma know that I just released an new solo acoustic live cd " Live at Laconia Prison". The inmates were very kind to me, I had a blast! I shared the stage with my pal Laurel Brauns, who will hopefully want to put hers out as well and have a double whopper of a cd!!!!!!!!!! I have put up a few of the 9 tracks featured on this record. I'd like to thank Bernadette for setting up the show a year in advance. Thanks for listening and stay out of trouble!
