I have performed onstage solo and with my bands After The Fall and The Black Market Opera at venues across the United States playing everywhere from small coffeehouses to national festivals.
I have played at many famous venues including Kenny's Castaways, The Bitter End, and Arlene's Grocery in NYC and The Trocadero, North Star Bar, and Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia.
I love playing all types of events but have always preferred smaller, more intimate settings where the audience has more of a one-on -one experience.
I began gigging in cover bands in the late 1990's, then as an successful original artist touring with my band After The Fall throughout the early 2000's, and currently with my band The Black Market Opera as well as gigging regularly as a solo cover artist.
The Cure, The Smiths, The Psychedelic Furs, Francis Dunnery, and Kenn Kweder. My favorite artist/band is The Cure and the greatest song of all time (in my humble opinion) is "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure.
I normally arrive an hour before the performance to set up. I usually perform 3 x 45 minute sets at most venues. However, I will tailor any performance to suit the individual venue's needs.
As long as there is a power supply I am more than happy to perform inside or outside.
I am always happy to take requests or learn specific songs for a client.
Previous customers and guests have praised my unique take on cover songs as well as complimenting my repertoire choice since I tend to stay away from overplayed songs that people are tired of hearing in lieu of popular songs which aren't overplyaed by every other guy with a microphone and a guitar.
