“All I Want For Christmas (All of It)” – Radkey
It was a pleasure to mix another song for Radkey, a rock trio from Kansas City. Here’s their newest, “All I Want For Christmas (All of It)” just in time for the holidays!
“Falling Out of Grace” – Radkey
It was a pleasure to produce some music for the fellas in Radkey with the help of some of my students over the summer…the first single “Falling Out Of Grace” is now streaming! Check it out! I recorded, mixed, mastered and produced this track.

“Hundred Dollar Habit” – The Skeleton Dance
The classic early twentieth century animated short “The Skeleton Dance” recently entered the public domain, so I thought I’d edit it to “Hundred Dollar Habit”, a song I wrote and recorded with my band James and the Kyusonics.
“Chasing Gremlins” – James and the Kyusonics
I’ve been writing, playing and recording music with James and the Kyusonics in Syracuse, NY for the past year and a half or so…sort of a jam/funk/groove/rock sensibility. We’re very happy to share our first recordings, “Chasing Gremlins” now streaming!
