Howdy fans and friends. 

January 2009...

After a year of live gigs supporting the release of our first CD "Riding Into Town" the band was ready to record our followup CD. "Dust In Your Hands" contains 9 new songs written by myself along with Paul Carden and Ken Williams.

I think you will hear a maturity to the sound that came from our live shows and crowd feedback. The CD featues new players Caitlin Durney on Fiddle, Todd Grossman on Mandolin and Rodney Harris on Drums. Veteran Trailmen returning to duty are John Brzoza on Lead Guitar and Paul Gilmore on Bass

The 2008 release of "Riding Into Town" has been well received and our live shows this year where/are alot of fun.

The cds and songs are available at www.cdbaby.com for purchase or download and at itunes.

I have been playing numerous live shows on Long Island and New York City  and have posted several live videos at you tube and myspace.   You can check the gigs pag or more information or go to my calendar at myspace.

Several songs from the new CD are in the top 10 charts at www.mievo.com.    Check out the reviews page to see what the press is saying about the new songs.  Special thanks to the radio stations that are playing our songs....we love you!!!!

I have very talented musicians who joined me in the recording studio......John Brzoza - Lead Guitar, Paul Gilmore - Bass, Tom Peterson - Drums and Joe Behar on Trumpet on "Riding Into Town".  For the 2nd CD "Dust In Your Hands"... John Brzoza - Lead Guitar, Paul Gilmore - Bass, Rodney Harris on Drums,  Caitlin Durney on Fiddle and Todd Grossman on Mandolin or Slide Guitar ......Together we are The Trailmen!!!

The songs on this cd encompass material Ive been performing over the last year in my solo shows.  The inspiration came from my love of old cowboy movies. When I was a kid I would get up early on Saturday Mornings and watch Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and all the singing cowboys.   I also have spent alot of time in the Bahamas and Mexico and wrote tunes while nursing a hangover or catching some fun in the sun. Once we rode into the studio to record a few songs The Trailmen wouldnt stop.!! 

I hope you like the new CDs and would like to hear from you. Send emails, post comments on the music sites and come to a show.
