I have another lyric video for you. This is for "Sad Song." I like to think of it not so much as a sad song itself, but rather a tribute to sad songs. 

This lyric video is a rather simple one that I know looks like I should probably hold it for St. Patrick's Day, but I'm posting it now. (I would also like to add that I'm actually very happy at my…

Here's the lyric video for "One Step From the Asylum." It's a sweet story about boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy marries girl, boy finds out girl is a homicidal maniac. I won't get into specifics…

Here's a new lyric video for the song "Such a Wreck." It's one of two songs on the album that was actually written before my previous album came out. So, yeah, I've been playing this one live for a while.

I’ve been working on this album most of this year — and in many ways, I’ve been working on it…

Porchfests are apparently my new thing. I actually think they're a really cool idea. People offer up their front porches as stages and welcome musical acts throughout the day. Cranford, N.J. does a great Porchfest, and I'm excited to be…

A quick update: The Roselle Park Porchfest is being pushed back to Sunday due to rain in the forecast. Everything else about the schedule is still the same. I'll be playing at 4:30 p.m. in front of the library.

What's this? A real in-person gig in 2020?

I'll be playing Saturday, Aug. 29 at 4:30 p.m. in front of the Roselle Park Veterans Memorial Library in my hometown of Roselle Park, New Jersey. It's part of the Roselle Park…

I’m finally making a new album, and I need your help! 

My vision for one of the songs is a chorus that sounds like a raucous barroom singalong. For this, I need many voices. That’s where you come in!
