Recent Projects

I recently had the opportunity to record on Andrea Wright‘s new album. Andrea is a talented singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Check her music out at her website at www.andreawrightmusic.com

With a few new microphones and a lot of time experimenting with various techniques, I have been recording with small ensembles in my home studio. I am fascinated by what I have learned (and by how much I have yet to learn) about digital recording. Recording is a great mix of science and art, and I hope to continue to refine my techniques as I post my recordings on this website.

Venues

I perform at many Boston-area venues, including the Acton Jazz Cafe, The Western Front, Redline, The Enormous Room, Grafton Street Restaurant, Tryst, Savinos Grill, AS220, The MIT Museum, Razzy’s, Boston Harbor Hotel, The Odyssey Dinner Cruise, and The Java Room.
