What’s New

If you’re interested in my music, my writing, my teaching, or my adventures, you’re in the right place.  You can find out where I’m playing live. If you want to see some of my past work, you can find live videos here. You can also marvel at the astonishing number and variety of artists with whom I have recorded. (Great fun for record geeks. Needs updating though.) You can read my blog posts on various topics. (For example, here’s the Ten Commandments series of tips for young musicians.) If you are interested in hiring me for live performances, recording (either online or at the facility of your choice), studying with me online, record production, or other musical services, please contact me. If you are a fan, music historian, or journalist, I am happy to talk with you about my past work. Thanks for your interest!

Bulletins From A Working Musician

03/13/25

  • I’m thrilled to announce that my new project, Duke Robillard Meets SoulShot featuring Andy Bassford and Mark Berney, will be released on April 20, 2025! It was a great experience making the record, and I’m glad that you’ll be able to hear it soon. You can hear samples and see live footage of us here. We’re also playing live at the Knick in Westerly on April 27 and the Iridium in NYC on May 2. Other dates to follow.
  • I’m doing lots of home studio work these days, as well as teaching online and at Mind-Builders, a wonderful art center in the Bronx. All ages accepted. All lessons are online except at Mind-Builders. I am not offering private in-person lessons at this time. If interested, contact me here.
  • What to see me live? Check here for all confirmed show dates.
  • My collaboration with the marvelous Joanne Williams on a song we wrote together, “Thankful,” has gotten over 15,000 views on YouTube. You can see the video here, and buy/stream the track on all major platforms.
  • The dub mixes of the instrumentals I’ve recorded for Piper Street Sound are now available on vinyl! Click the link for more info. My old friend Dwight Pinkney and I have a duet track in the PSP vaults as well. It shows both of us at our best and I’m incredibly proud of it. Not sure about release date.
  • The vinyl edition of my 2018 solo album “The Harder They Strum,” will in fact be repressed! The first edition is completely sold out. Working with Jump Up Records on it now.
