Current projects:

  • Monthly bluegrass/dead themed show at Medusa featuring a rotating special guest each month

  • four-piece improvisational band primarily at a local bar in Hudson, MA. We are called Mechanical Rat. We play a mix of our favorite “feel-good” music, and take chances together that sometimes work in our favor and other times do not :)

  • Jay & Dan (Bluegrass, Etc) - a duo project with my talented drummer/percussionist friend Dan Drohan. Playing bluegrass, old time, and everything in-between at Stone Cow Brewery in Barre, MA, and other local venues.

  • various sit-ins with bands throughout the Northeast - primarily central MA & Boston!

  • performing solo and in duo lineups throughout the northeast, playing a good mix of bluegrass and old time music.
