Really looking forward to my 5th appearance at WXPN Radio's Xponential Festival this Saturday July 23rd at 12:30pm sharp! I'll have most of The 48 Hour Orchestra in tow this time playing a set from "Lost Keys"! I'll also have the brand new "Lost Keys Live" DVD on sale. Other featured performers on Saturday include Alabama Shakes, Gary Clark Jr., Josh Ritter,Preservation Hall Jazz Band and many more!!  To my friends and fans in EUROPE and anywhere else for that matter...This performance will be broadcast…

Wishing everyone the happiest, healthiest and most peaceful holiday and New Year! What a year it's been. I'm saving some stories for later but... Looking forward to ringing in another New Year at Steel City in Phoenixville, PA. Word has it they got a new baby grand and I'm gonna bang on it 'til 2016!! Special guests Matt Spitko Band and More! Advance tickets available now! 

Very excited to be heading back to Europe on a duo tour with Scott Bricklin from US Rails and playing some songs from my new Blue Rose Records release "Lost Keys"! Before I leave I'll be playing one last band show October 30th at Steel City near Philly and then packin' it up and hitting the road. Dates are on my tour page. Send out yer friends! Here is some recent video of the band playing live at Sellersville Theater! I'll be releasing "Lost Keys" in the U.S. in January. Can't wait for you to hear it. 

Just saying hello!

I Haven't forgotten you!! I am in the last throws of completing a brand new record for spring release (I hope!). It's a pretty fantastic throwback to the sounds of Motown, Stax, Philly Soul and Doo Wop. What?? Yup. Bet I got yer attention.

See ya soon. I'm rebuilding the band a little and getting ready to start playing some more shows after the dead of winter. In the meanwhile, I'm out there..here and there. Keep an ear peeled. Happy New Year!

Hey Friends and Fans!

I have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks!

First and foremost, I am so excited to finally release my new record “Circle ‘Round The Sun”! And fittingly, after one full spin around the Sun, I will be celebrating with a release party/New Years Eve hoedown at Steel City in Phoenixville on, well, New Years Eve o’ course! I’ve been making NYE at Steel City a tradition, only this year the band will be performing a large block of material from the new album live on New Years Eve…

Looking forward to a New Years Eve release of my new record "Circle 'Round The Sun"! It will be available just after New Years on iTunes and CD Baby. Mostly can't wait to play it live!

I've had a pretty busy year so far and there is a lot of good stuff on the horizon. At the beginning of November I will head West to do some shows with the gents of Pistol fOR Ringo. Looks like mostly California, but CA is a big state! Glad to get to see some parts of it which I haven't seen yet. We'll be playing tracks from our new EP "Better Left Broken" as well as some newer stuff we recorded last year. Come hang with us in some dirty little rock clubs and check out my alter-ego!

In December the plan is…

The saga continues...my international gang, US RAILS is excited to have our new record "Southern Canon" available at all shows on our Philly regional tour dates in advance of a January worldwide Blue Rose Records release, when we will also launch an extensive European tour. Clocking in at 13 new original tunes by myself as well as Scott Bricklin, Tom Gillam, Joseph Parsons and one from drummer Matt Muir too. "Southern Canon" was recorded last November in Germany. 

The U.S. dates will kick off at the 50th…
