In case you missed it, you can now stream my virtual live performance from the Banding Together webathon that took place on October 15, 2021. Check it out over at SoundCloud here or using the embedded player below.
You can still donate to the Spondylitis Association of America right here.
Here’s what it looked like on my end… playing the set streaming through Skype.
I’m happy once again to participate in the Banding Together Benefit for the Spondylitis Association of America. The Webathon starts tomorrow, Friday, October 15, 2021 at noon. My set will air live at 4:45pm on Friday. The Webathon continues through Sunday at 9:15pm.
Please also donate to the cause! There’s a 46-song compilation of exclusive tracks available as appreciation for your support. I have a brand new song on it, called “Know.”
Here’s a quote from the event organizer, Lazlo.
“It means so much to me that we are able to do this benefit for the Spondylitis Association Of America each year,” says Lazlo, the founder of BlowUpRadio.com and the organizer of Banding Together. “My wife was diagnosed with spondylitis 15 years ago. I have watched the debilitating effects of this disease and the chronic pain and discomfort it causes.”
What a great night for music at The Hutton in Jersey City. It had been a minute since my last solo acoustic gig. Really enjoyed this one. Twenty-eight songs on the setlist!
Excited to be back playing live with Christina Alessi & the Toll Collectors in Hoboken, NJ on Thursday, September 30, 2021! This is the first show at Finnegan’s since pre-pandemic times. There is a brand new stage in the back room and we’re happy to be sharing it with Viktor.Digital.

I hope your new year is off to a good start and I hope you are braving this cold weather in a warm cozy place.
It’s funny, ever since I started working in educational publishing I’ve met people of extraordinary talents and who have an artistic pursuit outside of the day job. Maybe it’s the nature of the jobs in the industry – writers, designers, coders, creators. We are committed to some form of creation all day and then somehow we still have a need to create outside of the confines of the office.
At least once a year, my company likes to celebrate this. We have an Art, Music, and Poetry Expo where we hang artwork, eat, drink, rent a stage, and have a show. Poetry readings, musical performance, dance… it started a couple of years ago and now it’s become a Thing.
So here’s a video of my performance. I played an original and a cover: “Knocking Down My Front Door” and “Happier” by Marshmello and Bastille. Hope you enjoy it!
I had a fantastic time playing at the Hutton in Jersey City on Friday, December 7, 2018. Ty Tuschen and I played for two hours straight. It was a great time exploring some new covers and original songs. Looking forward to being back there again soon.
