My original music is available for streaming and purchase on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube, Tidal and below. Just click on an album cover for more details, playlists and lyrics of my recordings. I’ve also uploaded three singles that I recorded outside of an album project, including my score for the animated short, Preheated.
pop and circumstance (2024)
Eight tunes with power-pop leanings, some fun and frivolous, others oozing with pathos. This is definitely a group effort (see “the making of” for details), with two drummers, three guitarists, two bass players and two vocalists helping take this one to the finish line. The result is a fun, satisfying listen.

THE Human form divine (2021)
A snappy, stark effort with recurring musical themes and prog-rock leanings. The best-sounding album I’ve ever produced, with stellar guitar, bass and drums (none performed by me!) leading the way, thanks to Griffin Cobb, Julian Wrobel and Sam Heinz.

THE GREAT DIVIDE (2018)
A piano-based power trio with songs about conflict, whether between two people, an idea or oneself. A highly satisfying project due to my son’s impeccable drum work and Julian Wrobel’s terrific bass lines.

THE Palisades (2016)
My attempt to wade in the waters of romance. Meant to portray the arch of a particular relationship, influences include James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Marc Cohn, though I manage to sneak in a couple of rockers.

WARTS AND ALL (2012)
A blend of driving rock and roll tunes and a few Ben Folds-type ballads. Songs about murder, disillusionment and not taking no for an answer.

Every Day I'm Something NeW (2011)
A terrific blend of ballads and rockers, Maddy's debut album showcases her considerable talents not only as a singer, but as a composer. Her songs can be found at Amazon and iTunes.
Trainsongs (2010)
A second collaboration with singer/songwriter Tricia Kositzky. Piano, percussion, violin, bass and sax backup Tricia’s poetry about a westward trip on the rails.
Pause (2007)
A change of pace for me, a collection of up-tempo, guitar driven tunes about looking back, dissatisfaction and family.

The Dragon Breathes on Bleecker Street (2003)
A partnership with singer/songwriter Tricia Kositzky with additional vocals by Kristi French. A collection of soulful songs of introspection and hope.
Better Than This (2000)
Piano-based rock and roll with many of my favorite songs to date. Attitude rockers are balanced nicely with songs about marriage and parenthood.

Piano Solos (2000)
You guessed it. An album of piano solos, ranging from jazz to more rock-influenced tunes. Don't call it New Age.

Rocks Off On Humboldt (1996)
This is like listening to a former version of myself. Some gems hidden in a sea of subpar technology. But hey - it's free!
Meals and Ulcers (1992)
A superior effort to Rocks Off, and a nice summary of the mindset of a 24 year old.
