I play jazz guitar, compose the occasional tune, organize concerts, club dates, and winery events, and do freelance writing. I have a day job that allows me to listen to a lot of music while saving the environment.
I enjoy playing everything jazz oriented, from Django Reinhardt to Pat Metheny, from Cole Porter to Ornette Coleman.
A list of artists whom I have presented or co-presented would include Leo Kottke, Larry Coryell, Roswell Rudd, Kenny Drew Jr., Laura Veirs, Kelly Joe Phelps, Glen Moore, Mimi Fox, Eric Tingstad, Nancy Rumbel, the Tony Furtado Band, Danny Barnes, The Old Codgers, Keith Lowe, Rob Scheps, John Stowell, Nancy King, Dave Glenn, Phillips Flinner and Grier, Hal Galper, Mu Meson, Wylie and the Wild West, the Alan Kelly Band, Phil Markowitz, Ronnie Burrage, Harvey Wainapel, Kim Clark, Joel Harrison, Dan Weiss, David Binney, Kester Smith, Radoslav Lorkovic, Kristin Korb, Hadley Caliman, Steve Moore, Karl Blau, Alan Jones, Randy Porter, Jeff Johnson, Mary Kadderly, Steve Christoferson, The Brian Nova Trio, Margaret Slovak, Duck Baker, Jamie Findlay, The Acoustic Jazz Quartet, David Sills, Brent Jensen, and many others.
My writing has appeared in Adirondack Life, the Rensselaer alumni magazine, Victory Review, The Entertainer, and The Reactor, among other publications.
