So who is this guy, anyway??

I grew up in the Allentown, PA area, and began playing guitar at age 10, taking lessons from some very talented teachers, and started my first band when I was 15. Little did I know that this band,"Strange Brew", would last for over 30 years and play hundreds of shows all over eastern PA.

As lead guitarist of "Strange Brew" and later "Niagara", my specialty was accurate renditions of the classic solos from the Beatles, Stones, Who, Led Zeppelin, Doors, CCR, and all the great bands of the 60s and 70s.

In the 90s and 00s I also played in progressive rock bands as a member of ShadowPlay and Pulse. These bands specialized in Pink Floyd, Santana, Jethro Tull, and Steely Dan, among others. We played huge shows at Bethlehem's Musikfest, one of the largest music festivals on the east coast, to audiences in the thousands.

I played guitar and bass in the pit orchestra for famous musicals being performed on the local community theatre scene. Some of the shows I did was "A Chorus Line", "Fiddler On The Roof", "My Fair Lady", "Jekyll & Hyde", and "Evita".

For years I have performed in acoustic projects, as a soloist or in duos and trios, playing great music from Simon & Garfunkel, CSN, James Taylor, Neil Young, The Eagles, and The Beatles. My solo show, is now well established in the Murrells Inlet/Litchfield/Pawleys Island area. I have recorded 3 albums of original songs - "Late Arrival" in 2020, "Off The Clock" in 2022, "Tales Of The Crooked Oak" in 2023, and "Running The Table" in 2024. These albums are available from all of the major streaming services.

Performing led me to teaching, and over the years I have given thousands of guitar and bass lessons to kids, adults, and retirees in the Pawleys Island and Murrells Inlet area.
