I began performing my own songs in high school in Massapequa, NY in the 1970s, and continued doing so on the coffeehouse circuit during my college years in Buffalo, NY, in Provincetown, MA from 1976-1980, and in New York from 1980 on.

I released two CDs and also toured with and managed promotion for two music groups I’d formed: Show & Tell (with Melinda DiMaio, Tom McCormack, and Zenobia, as a college-touring act), and Chosen Family (with Dan Martin and Robin Burdulis).

After years of working full-time jobs in New York City and the rigors and expenses of an indie singer-songwriter’s life, I stopped singing in public after a few notable concerts in the early 2000s.

Those last shows in NY were the 2001 performance of my “Bodies Of Water” at Brooklyn Art Museum as the finale of a benefit for the Brooklyn Arts Exchange, with 18 amazing musicians accompanying me (now on my YouTube channel), and a 11/10/21 concert with Rob Meador and Tom McGrath at Fez under Time Cafe. After those I thought, how will I ever top these two musical experiences? I turned my focus back to my design work, and stopped performing for a number of years.

In late 2017, I moved back to Provincetown, MA from Manhattan with the goal of finally giving my music its due. I continue to write songs, and sing in public again.

While sorting through my musical archives to digitize them, I learned from Dan Martin and Michael Biello about their own extensive archives, containing videos of many of my performances. I then began work with Dan on REVIVED in 2022.
