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 and Holiday Rambler RV Rallies in CT and MA, First Nights in Hartford, Mystic, Danbury and Torrington, I have also played 15 different CT country fairs, over 100 Florida R.V.
