hello there!
Hi, web denizens, and welcome to my new online digs!
I’m a songwriter-performer-sax player (rock star?) who lives in Pittsburgh, PA. Feel free to:
read the latest news, see where I’m playing next, download some MP3s, sign up for my e-mail list, buy stuff (CDs, t-shirts…), and generally make yourself at home.
(I’m also the guy who wrote das doofe Fischlied).
