Born in the Bronx and schooled in a North Jersey suburb I suffered a car accident that
made music school in the New York area a financial impossibility. After taking a half year
working in a road construction crew in the day and as a waiter at night I earned enough
money for the first year of school at the least expensive school (at the time) I could find, which
was Berklee School of Music. I was off to Boston.

I met some like minds there and began a punk/pop band called My Hip and played around
the Boston scene around 1981-82. In ’83 a friend from the band the Young Snakes asked me to jam
– she said she was getting together a bunch of guys from other Boston bands to record a tape. Her
concept was to have a band that made recorded music together but didn’t play out live. It didn’t work
– the tape got radio play, and lots of it, around Boston. Til Tuesday played our first show at the Rat in
Boston in April of 1983. We thought that we‘d just do one show a month. That didn’t work either – we had
lines down the block. We booked more gigs – made another recording and entered into the local
radio station WBCN’s Rock and Roll Rumble in the summer. Before that summer we had found a manager
and garnered major label interest and used the Rumble as a label showcase and springboard. We signed
to CBS/EPIC Records shortly after.

In the five years, from ’83 to ’87 that I played with Til Tuesday we put out 2 albums, Voices Carry
and Welcome Home. We toured all over the United States as well as having a radio tour of Europe and
playing in Tokyo and Osaka. They put out one more album after I left the band.

During the nineties, I kept writing my music although it was a particularly rough decade for me
personally. I played in bands as much as my parental responsibilities allowed. In that decade, I
had a few bands Lazarus Long, The Apparitions, and finally Three Pound Universe.
Each band played my songs and each very differently,
but all with my signature tonality.

Currently, I can be seen playing solo shows around Cambridge and Boston. My new collection of songs
has been taking longer than usual to get out....but I guess I'm in no rush.
Meanwhile, I suppose I'll just start on the next batch.
