The Swunk Brothers: Founded by singer/songwriter Ken Weiland, this versatile duo was one of my favorite groups. Ken is, in my opinion, one of the best songwriters in New England, and I was honored when he asked me to play bass, lead guitar and piano on two of his albums. Here are a couple samples from the "Green Martini," named after a small club in Concord, NH that was home to many musicians and supported live music.
Doug Mitchell (Kingston Records) is one of the most requested performers in Southern New Hampshire. I had the privilege of performing hundreds of gigs with Doug since 2006, and look forward to our annual gigs (usually in July) back in New England. Here's a track on which I played keys and piano.
In 2011 I was introduced to a gypsy guitarist named Ryan Flaherty from Portland Maine. Here is one of several songs we recorded together at NHtunes Studio in Manchester, NH.
