Hi! Welcome to my site!
I am an independent musician from new jersey. I started making music when I was 14 years old and have played in several bands. My first recording was in 1984 and was titled DB Rockin. It was recorded using a cassette to cassette method. My first band was State of Shock, which was formed when I was in high school. Shortly after that DB Rockin was formed. the band members were: Jim Lambert-Drums,Terry Burham-Lead Vocals, Rob Stewart-Bass guitar, and Johnny Reade-Lead Guitar.DB Rockin performed at Obsessions night club in Randolph NJ, and also made an album which was recorded on 4-track and distributed on cassette tape. DB Rockin sold over one hundred cassette tapes. After DB Rockin I teamed up with keyboardist Greg Bullock to form the recording project GABRock. We recorded several original songs on 4-track. Greg and I then recruited a bass player and drummer to form the band Shaman.Shaman performed at venues in NJ/PA area, and also took second place at the Battle of the bands at the Larry Holmes Commodore Inn in Phillipsburg NJ. A year after I teamed up with drummer Mike Frey , and bass player Kevin McCann to form Readem & Weep. Readem & Weep was an original/cover band that played several venues in the northwest NJ area. A few months after we started performing we added Frank Francino as lead Guitarist. Readem & Weep took first place in the battle of the bands at the Warren County farmers fair. After Readem & Weep I played guitar for the band White Lyze for a couple months. After that I was lead vocalist for the band Stormfront from Highland Park NJ. Stormfront was a cover band that played hard rock and classic rock. We played venues in the north new jersey area. After Stormfront my voice was pretty shot, so I took a long break from music. I mostly recorded music at home for my own enjoyment.In 2000 I teamed up with pianist Steve Deutch to record the song Won't you spend the night. After that I recorded songs on and off over the years. 2009- Rebirth, I upgraded my equipment and now I am recording again. I have put my songs on musicalley.com,which is a website for indie musicians to put their music for podcasters to use on their podshows. My music has been played on Michael Angels Cosmic Grab Bag podcast. I am very grateful to Michael for playing my songs. Lots of artists have their songs on musicalley.com for a very long time before they get played.
