Welcome to my music page! This is a temporary site that I'm setting up to let you know what's going on in terms of my current musical projects until I set up a permanent site. In addition to regular updates, this site will contain media updates of new material I'm working on (mp3's, pics, possibly lyrics) as well as stuff from previous projects.

As some of you may know, in high school I was in a band called Free Agent. I played keyboard and sang lead vocals for the group. The four piece band also featured Dan Cohen on drums, Paul Robinson on guitar, and Nate Witkin on bass. I have included a link to the band's webpage (which is still up, although no longer in use because of software problems) as well as some previously unavailable pictures and mp3's.

Before I joined Free Agent, I was in another band briefly called Tone Diffusion with Rick Acker on drums, John Sandora on alto sax, Ben Lerner on guitar, and Carl Meyers on bass. I do have a couple of rough recordings that I just might post here for the fun of it.

And now on to my current projects.... drum roll please... I am pleased to announce that after nearly an entire school year of attempting to organize a group, I finally have a band lined up! The instrumentation, for now, is the same as Free Agent- keys, guitar, bass, and drums. I will be singing lead vocals and playing guitar on a couple of songs. The rest of the band's lineup is: Nathan Relles (guitars), Nate Smith (bass), and Chris Phelps (drums).  We have begun work on several new originals. The band's music will encompass a combination of solid songwriting, a little rock n' roll attitude, and lots of jazz and blues craftsmanship. I am very excited at the potential of this group and can't wait to get out there are start playing some gigs! I have a load of new material written along with a couple of songs that were leftovers from leftovers. I have some rough demos of the songs, some of which are available in .mp3 format in the Media section of the webpage. So far, we have worked on songs entitled "In The End", "Wait For Me", "August Troubles", and "Things Are Changing".

In addition to my rock and songwriting ventures, I have taken some time this year to devote to instrumental composition, as I will be applying for a composition major here at Ohio State next year. A series of short jazzy piano pieces is in the works as well as a string quartet. Also, I am playing in a jazz combo (through the School of Music) as well as the Ohio State Jazz Lab Ensemble.

This page is currently under construction, so check back regularly for updates! In the future, I will have photos, mp3's, and other good stuff.
