Hey Ya'll, I will be completely revamping my music web site very soon. Please bear with me! 
Happy New Year to Ya'll!
What a wild and silly night Saturday was. What can I say? The good, the bad and the downright ridiculous... Sound/equipment mishaps, the set list going out the window in favor of a "wing-it" cover tune list, a new drummer (Mike you did terrific!) and of course "Becky, Denim Sky's new air guitarist"!
Thanks to Boulders, View, Spencer and any of you who came out!

Hello friends,
First and foremost, it has been a loooonnnggg time since I last updated my web site. My apologies. I have been pretty much musically inactive for a while. I have been busy with the other important things in my life...ie...Soccer coach, hockey dad, automobile builder...etc. So music has been on the back burner sort of speak. I have been writing and working towards a new release sometime in 2006 (yes I know it was supposed to be 2005).
Thanks to all you crazy folks who showed up for the private Halloween bash. Two full sets of Denim Sky...what a hoot! Yes thats me (above) as a sort of Lucifer figure, Steve Haack as Slash and Rob..hmm...well...some sort of grim reaper I guess.
I'm happy to announce that I will be doing something I have actually never done before... A show on New Years Eve! My band Denim Sky will be sharing the bill with View and Spencer Michaud. Only a $5 cover for the night. Mike Barton will be sitting in as our guest drummer that eve as Rob Jankowski is out of town. We welcome Mike and look forward to him rockin out with us! 8-22-05
Thank you very much too everyone who came out for the Internet Cafe show here in Canton. I had a great time. A very cool place to play. Keep an eye out for some new shows to be added soon on the Shows page. 7-30-05
Thank you to everyone who made it out to the Little Dublin show. I've never broken a string playing an acoustic show before...and at the end of the first song no less!!! The show turned out to be really fun however. For some reason it seemed like the right time to pull out a cover of my former band mate Keith Kisers "Spiritual Journey". It was such a "summery" evening and last week I had spent three days up north so...hense the inclusion....Oh yea, I must appologize to the guys in View for my rather interesting version of "The One I love". Yikes...but very fun!

Hey folks, thanks to all who made it out this weekend to Gingers. What an ugly night to venture anywhere...rain and 38f yuck! I appreciate the support.
Starting on Thursday May 13th, I will be hosting acoustic open mic night at Gingers. Every Thursday from 7:30 until 10pm anyone can come up and play or simply hang out and listen to local players do their thing! No cover, great sound system and a friendly room awaits...
Also, there are several other things getting going for this summer. Watch this page for info soon. 4-23-04
UPDATE.....
As some of you might know already, the WBLD show has been rescheduled for May 22nd due to the chili weather prediction for this weekend. Tickets are $7 per person for general admission for the day. There will be two stages and 9 different artists/bands. I will post a map in the next couple days.
Also, I have a May 1st date at Gingers Coffee Connection scheduled. I havent played in a couple months and I'm looking forward to the show.
And finally, Greg Wilton and myself have been working on a couple more songs for my new cd this year. I will once again have cd singles (A Gift/Never had a Halo) for the first 5 people who want one at Gingers.

Thanks to all who came out to the February Gingers coffee shop show. I had a great time! Special thanks to Rob and Andy.
The final Monday night acoustic show at the Tap room in Ypsilanti was fun too. I was truly honored to be playing with the talented songwriters/singers who participated.
I will be taking the month of March off for some personal issues but I already have shows booked for April and May.
As always thanks for the support. |
