Mike
Benjamin
www.mikebenjaminmusic.com
My buddy Mike B. is an absolutley
smokin singer, guitar player and songwriter. I've seen him hit
a deer with a truck load of gear after a gig and not even interrupt
the story he was telling me. Check his great tunage! |
Anthony
Resta
www.anthonyjresta.com
The sickest musician/producer/fisherman
I know. Production and programming for Duran Duran, Collective
Soul, Sean Mullins, Blondie, Letters to Cleo, Entrain (ahem)...
the list goes on and on. Early, early in the morning he
frequently can be found in my hometown of Gloucester on
Bass Rocks, reeling in big-ass Stripers. |
Brian
Maes
www.brianmaes.com
One of my favorite Singer/Songwriters,
not to mention a truly amazing keyboard player, band leader,
and really nice guy. Brian has been an inspiration to me
for years! Go out and see a show and/or purchase any of
his well crafted CDs. You'll be really, really glad you
did! |
Fortune
www.fortune-music.com
Dickie Paris Jr. loves to rock, and
there is no greater evidence of this than his being the drummer
for these long-time Fav Rockers! If you go here, you will
see pics of Dickie with long, Yanni-like hair and a Metal-God
physique. It must've been the 80s! |
Steve
Cuoco
www.stevecuoco.com
Steve is one of my best pals, and a
downright fantastic bass player. We've been friends since
High School and somehow he still likes me. Go immediatley
to the audio page of his site and listen to Lullaby for Lauren.
Hear that fretless work? That's intonation baby! |
Handsome
Brothers Music
www.handsomebrothers.com
Fantastic Boston Jingle
Farm and recording studio, cranking out tune after tune
for Boston Area and National T.V. and Radio. Remember the
California Grape commercial featuring the cool remake of "Heard
it through the grapevine"? That was theirs. |

David
Stefanelli
www.davidswebs.com
Stef is such a bitchin
drummer, it rattles the iron plate in my head. As if that
weren't enough, the guy sings, writes, produces and arranges
with equal talent and creativity. Additionally, David runs
his own Web Design company and does the best friggin Sammy
Davis Jr. imitation I've ever heard, bar none. |
Rachel
McCartney
www.rachelmccartney.com
I've known Rachel since
we were just a couple of punks. She has the voice of an
angel and is a tremendous songwriter. She tours constantly,
so be sure to get out and see her when she comes to your
town, hamlet or burg. |
TAXI
www.TAXI.com
Independent A&R service

Hey songwriters; get off your ass and signup with TAXI! |
Entrain
www.entrain.com
Marthas Vineyard's own. One
of the most high-energy bands you will find, Entrain's drum-driven
multi-influenced music has grooved gazillions of people nation
wide. I did so many gigs with these guys in a three year stretch,
you wouldn't believe it. Catch a show and you'll be hooked! |
Mark
Earley
www.markearley.org
Mark Early is a Buddy of mine for more than
20 years now. He is a brilliant Harmonica Player, a great writer,
photographer and hardcore lefty. His homepage loads kind of slowly,
but check out his photo pages and my favorite story, "Nashua". |
Art
Space
www.artspace.org
Fishtown Artspace is a unique non-profit artistic
and musical community Art Center, built from the grass-roots up, by
both kids and adults who view art as a redemptive force in their lives,
and in the life of the town. Run by my good friend and next-door neighbor,
Shep Abbott, Artspace has done wonders for many of Gloucester's teens,
and provides a cool venue for live music. BTW: Shep wrote
that crazy cult classic "CHUD". Ever seen it?
I'll give you a hint...
Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. |
Madhouse
www.madhouseproductions.com
Hands down the best party band I have ever
had the pleasure to work with. I met my wife playing bass with Madhouse
at the Top O The Hub in Boston. These guys play a wedding like nobody
you've ever seen. I have never seen a Mother-of-The-Bride that didn't
wind up standing on a table dancing like Charro and screaming like Howard
Dean. It's just that good. Getting hitched? Book Madhouse! |
