Musical Projects
My solo shows are where I explore and create as a singer-songwriter — just me, my acoustic, and my looper pedal. In 2024, I also spent some time recording Northern Rails, a studio album that incorporates bass, percussion, layered harmonies, and a few guitars. Check it out here!
The 4th Story
The 4th Story is a genre-melding trio that blends my singer-songwriter foundation with jam-rock, funk, jazz, and hopefully many other things as we begin to find our sound. Come through one of our shows to see drummer Adam Rothschild and Bassist Matt Ares breathe new life into my originals as I try to shred my acoustic guitar like it’s an electric!
Flying Turtle is my longest-running Boston project. We’re a fun, rootsy, highly-danceable jam band that will leave you smiling and singing all of our ridiculous songs with us. From tight bluegrass tunes to Dead-style vibe-outs, we will take you on a JOURNEY. Our debut album Playing in the Band is out now — check it out here!
Jill is an absolute FORCE in the Boston music scene, and I’m lucky enough to be a part of her new band! With a powerful voice and an endless river of thoughtful, soulful songs, Jill puts on a truly spectacular show. You can check out all of her amazing work here.
Spoondrift is a tight, powerful blues rock group that will light up any venue, breathing jam and psychedelia into the big, rootsy sound of 60s and 70s rock. We cover classics like The Band, The Allman Brothers, and The Grateful Dead, while showcasing a handful of bluesy originals. Come get loud with us!
