Electric Guitar – Acoustic Guitar – Slide Guitar – Vocals

Recognized as a tasteful guitar player, singer, and multi-instrumentalist in numerous bands; playing throughout NYC, as well as touring. I’ve played with Artists such as Abrielle Scharff, Danielle Grubb and El Silver Cabs, as well as projects acting as the primary songwriter –  Mike Turnwall & the Burning Sun, and Moose Hut. I’ve also been hired several times by the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU for their Drama productions as a member of the Pit Ensemble. 

Need a track but can’t get the band together? I can lay down any tracks from my home studio and send files right to your producer.
