I produced a series of musical cues for Counter-Productions Production of Old Wicked Songs. The show is playing now at The Provincetown Theater. It was a complete joy recording John Thomas on the piano and the voice of Jon Arterton for this very special sound design and show.

I was fortunate to get a call to play last night with Link Montana and The Rough Riders at Brax Landing in Harwich. Playing with Bruce( Link) is great but the cherry on the cake at this gig is Joey Spampinato from NRBQ on bass. We had a great time and I hope they need a sub again soon!!!

Steve Morgan's CD "Hurricane" is now available on CDbaby.com. I play drums on all but 1 track. I've also contributed percussion parts to many of the cuts. This Cd is well recorded at Tom Tracy Music Production in Brewster, Ma and features more than a handful of great local musicians.

It took 5 years but I finally sold all hard copies of "Never Don't Change". I'm debating whether to do another pressing. I'm grateful to the friends that actually purchased this CD. It means a lot to me. Thank You!

I was in Falmouth recording with John and Rachel Nicholas yesterday in their home studio. I had a great time working on three tracks written by this fantastic duo.

I had the pleasure of recording for Chris LoCascio and Melissa Weidman this weekend. We worked on two great tunes for their next CD project. Chris and Melissa are excellent musicians and great fun to be around and I had a blast with the tunes. Please check out the current CD available at CDbaby, go hear them live and keep an eye out for the new CD.
