Moving to New York in the late 1970's, he fronted his own successful indie band releasing several critically acclaimed albums, all the while attracting attention as a guitarist to be reckoned with. Over the next 15 years he became a mainstay on the N.Y. scene; recording, writing and touring with many well known artists including Marshall Crenshaw, Curtis Stygers and the Roches to name a few.

These days He goes out solo, playing his own songs, alongside favourites from Johnny Cash to Jimi Hendrix.
