Wow, I’m married!

March 31st, 2011

And it feels GREAT!

The wedding March 12th was fantastic and my wife Angela looked stunningly beautiful.  The ceremony and reception were special and now that the in-laws are headed back to Taiwan I’m looking forward to resuming my music making, inspired by my better half!

Upcoming gigs of note, aside from the regular Wednesdays at Emiliano’s and Sundays at Francesca’s, are a few Saturday solo gigs at Garvino’s in the Villages, 4/2 and 4/16, a trio performance for Rocket for the Arts 4/8 at Zuzu in Downtown Gainesville and another trio at Casa Monica in St. Augustine 4/9.

Hope to see you soon!

New tunes are out!!!

I released ‘Smile for the Count!’ in December of 2010.  It is a project of original music and also was recorded, mixed, mastered and produced by me, in my home studio (except the piano tracking, which was recorded in Atlanta).  Here are a couple of tracks:

Barefooted Necessities

Blue Ballad

New Years Eve at the Casa Monica!

December 26th, 2010

I’ll be leading my trio with Peter Miles on Drums and Billy Thornton on bass at the Casa Monica Hotel in the 95 Cordova Lounge for New Years Eve, 9pm-1am.  It is super swanky and we will be swinging so make your reservations now!!!
