I started singing and playing guitar in college
with a 4 piece rock band called the Sig Ep Heartbeats. During the 70's
and 80's, I formed several folk, rock and country groups and in 1979,
founded the Connecticut Songwriters Association. I
now offer 11 shows with hats, props and an audience-handout Song
Request List containing 300 song titles divided into 13 different
song categories. Shows may be performed indoors or outdoors, day or evening,
and professional sound and lighting are provided. I own Rainbow Music, a
teaching and recording studio in Glastonbury, CT. Recent performances
include: Columbia, CT Bicentennial, New Britain Park and Rec. Summer
Concert Series, Oxford, Ct Gazebo Concert, Lebanon Country Fair (I've
done this fair for 27 years),
Prospect Library in Prospect, CT, Strawberry Park Campground in Preston,
CT(27 years), the Big E Camping Show in Springfield, MA, Good Sam, Nutmeg
