"Sonic Cinema" was, for many years, the band name I was going to use for my pop/rock music. Because that's the way they do things in the music biz, right? A few months ago, it dawned on me that I have spent most of my professional life being just a member of a band. Sometimes, it was a band in which I was one of the contributing songwriters and vocalists. Other times, I was just the guitarist or the bassist, or even the keyboardist. I have never stepped out and fronted my own band.

So, that's what I'm doing now, for the first time in my life. And it just makes sense that, rather than hiding behind some fake band name, I need to put myself out there. Since I always liked the phrase Sonic Cinema, I decided to use it as the title of this blog. And who knows, I might someday write a song under that title.

I am currently releasing only singles, but I won't completely rule out the occasional EP. However, in my opinion, the "album" is a relic of the past, and it doesn't really fit an artist like me who has musical ADD!

In the production of my singles, I have been aided by the drumming talents of my longtime friend and brother-in-arms Jason Furman. Jason lives in New York, so our collaboration consists mostly of sending files back and forth, and he records the drum parts in his own studio. My album artwork has been masterfully produced by the amazing Amberlee Chaussee. Ani Johnson is handling my marketing, and she will also be contributing backing vocals on my live gigs. I am doing the rest of the tracking, mixing and mastering, and I am making my own videos as well.

I have put together a Boston-based band made up of three of Berklee College's finest: Dave Howard on guitar, Jeff Perry on bass, and Jazz Robertson on drums.

So, welcome aboard, and I hope you enjoy the ride. I'll try to keep it interesting!
