'New CD available! - August 7, 2012
Hi All,
I recorded at Berklee Recording Studios with Jamie MacDonald on bass and Claire Arenius on drums, the same personnel as the live CD "Triangulation." This time we mainly featured original compositions by members of the trio. It's titled "For One Who Waits" (Kyran Music KM 003).

Jack Fragomeni CD - November 2, 2011
I've been involved in a true labor of love by producing a posthumous CD release by the wonderful guitarist and my hometown friend Jack Fragomeni (1951-2009). It's entitled "I'm Having a Good Time" (Kyran Music KM 002), and was recorded in 2002 with the outstanding rhythm section of bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Jeff Hirshfield.
'Live CD is available! - September 1, 2010
Hi All,
My CD entitled "Triangulation," is available. It was recorded live in Vermont with bassist Jamie MacDonald and drummer Claire Arenius, and includes some pretty adventuresome stuff!
I recently recorded "Darn That Dream" on solo acoustic guitar for "The Inside Out of Apple Tree Arts" CD, a compilation assembled by a local arts organization.
I wrote the liner notes for Jay Messer's recently released solo guitar CD "Concentration" (Shejazz) recorded on an acoustic archtop guitar. It's simply beautiful!
