Happy New Year to all! It's starting to snow here in NY and for once I'm glad not to be performing in it. Yet sometimes snowstorms can be an adventure. Almost a year ago, after a much snowy performance at Brown University, PJ Loughran and I got stranded in Providence RI at PJ's cousin's house. The rest of our mini-tour got cancelled and we wound up shoveling and playing Texas Hold'em all day and board games at night.

Anyway, enough reminiscing, this year its time to celebrate the snow in New York with some exciting winter performances in NYC. Sat. the 29th I'll be at the Bitter End with Brian Kingston and Sunday, February 6th it's with Changing Modes at the Luna Lounge. Thanks again to everyone for the support and don't forget to make your snow angels!

Happy Holidays! I'm writing this as I'm preparing to leave for tonights show with PJ Loughran at the Living Room. So I'll keep this kind of short...

December has been a busy month teaching, playing and maintaining drum hardware that decided to give out right before a show. I called a drummer friend who just happened to be home to bail me out, however, he brought the wrong piece of hardware with him! Never a dull moment in the life of a drummer. Anyway, I'll be playing a trio show with Brian Kingston at Tribeca Rock Club on December 29th and Martin Dory is coming to town for a CD release performance at CBGBs Gallery. Speaking of which, I'll be adding some Martin Dory music clips in the music section after the CD release. Stay Tuned. . .

September was a busy month in the studio with Changing Modes. We got some really good drum/percussion sounds and everybody creatively contributed. I even got to break out my vocal pipes on one song! We get to showcase some of the newer material on Holloween Eve, (Oct. 30th) at CBGBs gallery.

New dates posted in the schedule section and new pics posted in the studio pics section. Enjoy!

First of all, thanks to Time Out NY and Emily Prawda for making the Hotel Gansevoort night such a fun experience for us. I would also like to thank all who came out to the event.

Lastly, I'm excited to be in the studio from Sept 17-19th to start recording with Yuzuru Sadashige and Wendy Griffiths. This will mark the start of Changing Modes's second full-length recording and I am proud to be a part of it.
