About Me |
|
I have been playing harmonica since I was about 17 years old when I first heard Paul Butterfield and hugged the speakers. Self taught with lots of stage time over the years I try to personifiy the soulful tone that defines this humble instrument. I spread myself around musically these days standing in with many after some time with the bands "Number 9 Train"and "Blue Alert". I recently finished a recording with Nanette Natal available on the iTunes music store and a demo with Bone Dog . Locally I have the privilege of playing with Big Ed Sullivan and am a member of Bone Dog who gig NYC regularly. I'm also a Registered Nurse, lifelong New Yorker, my gorgeous girlfriend and muse Marina gave birth to our bewitching twins: Natalie and Sophia on 10/06/08, and I'm the proud father of my favorite person in the world: Erin Moriarty since 1994...... That's a lot of beautiful woman to play for! NUMBER 9 TRAIN. Add to My Profile Erin as Annie. Add to My Profile |

Music:Member Since: 2/20/2007Band Website: myspace.com/thebonedogbluesband Influences: Paul Butterfield, Paul deLay, Lee Oscar, Rod Piazza, George (harmonica) Smith, Mark Ford, and William Clarke are my harp icons. Mellifluous and soulful vocalists like Andy Bey and Liz Wright are my inspirations. And jazzin blues guitarists like Ronnie Earl nourish me. Occupying the top of the list though are my heart and daughter Erin, my gorgeous muse Marina and our two bewitchingly beautiful twins Natalie and Sophia! Sounds Like: I seem to have assimilated a lot of the late Paul Butterfield's tone in my effort to emulate him as a kid. Somehow when I heard him effuse that tone I was arrested in a way that never has let go. Many, many types of music engage me but the harmonica when overdriven sweetly through a tube amp is the deepest expression I have yet to express myself with (and I've tried a few). As a result of this organic attraction and being wholly self taught I sound like: me. Record Label: unsigned Type of Label: Unsigned |
