Two years after the release of American Landscape which was embraced by Americana and Folk radio across the US, American Landscape is now seeing a spike in airplay in the UK and Ireland. Stay tuned for November tour dates in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Thanks to all the on-air folks who've been playing my tunes. dm

Happy 2019! My good news is, I'm finally writing again...hallelujah! Also me and the guys are making some music and doing some shows in February and March and we're currently booking some spring dates. Maybe even a stint in Ireland. We'll keep you posted on all developments. Thanks for your support!

Not so "new" anymore but meet my current band
Ron Baumann: bass & vocals
Chris Tarrow: guitar/pedal steel
Eric Braverman: drums/percussion
These guys (at one time or another) have all toured nationally and they're all veterans of the NYC music scene, plus they're just really good guys.
Now I still do solo gigs now and again but most often I'll be joined by Ron and/or Chris for the duo or trio thing and we bring Eric in when we do a full band show.
