Howdy fans and friends. 

My new CD  "Riding into Town" is finished and released.  It contains 9 new orginals written by myself along with my songwriting partners Paul Carden and Lauron Lewis.

The cd 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.thefreeartistnetwork.com.    Check out the reviews page to see what the press is saying about the new songs.

Many thanks to the 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.  New members joining me in our live shows are Rodney Harris on Drums and Phil Bland or Paul Cruz on Bass, Caitlin 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 CD and would like to hear from you. Send emails, post comments on the music sites and come to a show.
