Well that was awesome. It’s hard to believe I’ve been making music with Christina Alessi for 20 years now. It’s so effortless that it feels like it must’ve been a lifetime or more. I couldn’t be more proud of her at this moment, opening for Joan Osborne! And I couldn’t have been more proud to share it with her on stage.
Here are some video clips from my Instagram from our performance!
Just before the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Christina Alessi & the Toll Collectors filmed a live video performance in the cliffs overlooking Manhattan. Here is our original song from that performance, “Lost Tonight.”

For a recent Virtual Wine and Song, I recorded two new videos. First is an original, “Until You Let Me In.” Second is a cover of a H.E.R. song, “Hard Place.” Enjoy!
I recently recorded this cover of Pink Floyd’s classic as part of a virtual Art, Music, and Poetry celebration hosted at my job. Hope you enjoy it!

I recently participated in a songwriter challenge for The Latest Noise Wine and Song where I composed an original song to a spoken word poem. I was sent the poem only – I wasn’t told who wrote it and didn’t have access to the poet’s reading. Two other songwriters were sent the same poem. The result? Three very different song interpretations! The poem is “Disbeliever” by Sandra Ann. Check out my version in the video below.
If you want to see the complete segment with all three song interpretations plus the poet’s reading, check out the full Wine and Song video below. In case the link doesn’t start in the correct spot, go to 14:20 to see the beginning of the challenge.
Here’s a cover I recorded this summer of Bob Marley’s, “Three Little Birds,” with a little help from my son. Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
I’m just catching up with some posts that should’ve been up months ago! But never too late. Here are two songs from a virtual Wine and Song event back in June. One is an original – “Howlin’.” The other, a cover of Don Henley’s “End of the Innocence.” Hope you enjoy!
