What began as a basement operation in 2012 quickly evolved into one of New England's most popular rock bands. The journey wasn't smooth from the start, though. My first band, formed in 2010, was a disaster, lasting only two shows.
Over the next two years, I met dozens of musicians. I had an excellent drummer, Paul, and a talented bassist, Ken, but no guitarist. Just as I was about to call it quits, I received an email from Randy, who lived nearby. Deciding to give it one last shot, I discovered Randy was a phenomenal guitarist, outperforming most headline stars. The four of us came together and created something magical. Like any good relationship, we had our differences and miscommunications, but we always found common ground.
During our time together, we released two studio albums and several promotional records, each featuring 10 songs from the classic rock and roll era. We played countless events, entertaining crowds ranging from 100 to 10,000, at venues as diverse as town gazebos and amusement parks.
A career highlight was when Paul McCartney's producer approached me in Albany, inviting me to play "Let it Be" on the piano while a crowd of Beatles fans sang along for his website.
I've appeared on numerous radio and television programs and have consistently ranked in the top 5 of the Connecticut charts, even reaching #1 on the Triad charts.
