Check out my new Soundcloud page. I have added two songs from a Theory of Everything show performed in January at The Fire in Philly. These two tracks feature myself, Mark Guiliana and Jason Fraticelli. I hope you enjoy listening to them. Until next time...

Greetings. I just wanted to throw out a friendly reminder that my album Theory of Everything is available on iTunes. Here's the link. I hope you enjoy the tracks!
