Welcome to my new website folks! In the menu bar you can find links to my Beatles & John Lennon related tribute project websites as well as links (to be added soon) to current and past original projects I have been involved in over the years. There is a also a calendar which notes where, what, and with whom I am performing. I expect to expand this as necessity dictates.

NEW RELIGION - 2020 Hindsight
From 1985-1989 I was with an original group called New Religion. We were a goth-pop band based in the San Francisco-Bay Area. The band featured Mark Blasquez, Andy Blasquez, and me as the core, but many musicians supplemented the project throughout our tenure. We were working on our craft as musicians and songwriters, influenced by many 80s bands such as Gene Loves Jezebel, The Police, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, U2, Cocteau Twins, Brian Eno, Tones on Tail, Killing Joke, Public Image, Ltd., The Producers, Love & Rockets, Peter Murphy, etc.; but also anchored in old supergroups like The Beatles, Elton John, Van Halen, etc. The 1980s were a great time for music!
In 1988, we released a small EP self titled New Religion, and performed live from 1986 to 1989. The band made it to headliner status by January of 1989 but life's galactic forces pulled us apart by mid-year. Nothing tragic or dramatic there. We've remained great friends and worked together over the years. When the COVID-19 virus hit, we decided to have some fun and bring the New Religion project back to life - remotely, of course. We're calling this project New Religion - Hindsight 2020 and have re-recorded acoustic versions of songs from our 1988 EP.
The songs and other merchandise items are available for purchase on the New Religion website.
