Philadelphia born singer songwriter is the former lead singer for Mumblin Jim. He tells us about his musical history and introduces his new release: Lancaster Road.

How did your musical project first start? Is there a story to tell about it?

My first band was called The Nude Astronauts. We were 15 years old and all the songs were naughty šŸ™‚

What was your first gig?

My first (unpaid) gig was Battle of the Bands in high school. Every band performing that night played a version of ā€œJust What I Neededā€ by the Cars. Ours was the worst.

How have your music/live performances been received by fans?

There has been a lot of love and warmth in the reception of ā€œLancaster Roadā€. I have heard more than once that it feels like ā€œa warm hugā€.

What three words best describe your musical style and why?

Impossible question. I usually say ā€œsinger-songwriterā€, but that’s a bit of a cop-out.


Who are your biggest musical influences?

For songwriting: Carole King, Burt Bacharach, The Great American Songbook
For singing: Frank Sinatra, Otis Redding, Leon Russell.

How do you hope listeners will feel after hearing your music?


Like they are getting a warm hug.

What are you working on next?

Gonna release a collection of unreleased music from the last 20 years.It’s called ā€œMish Moshā€, like the Jewish soup. I’m aiming for next spring.
