In 2022, I released one album that very earnestly discussed mental health and self-care. A few months later, I reached back over the years to compile my more humorous offerings, especially those connected with my home state of New Jersey.

Those two divergent experiences informed a more comprehensive approach to songwriting where I ended up creating this new album "Side Effects" that would weave the humorous together with the earnest, telling a heartfelt story punctuated with some laughs. It's a story of the persistence of loving hearts through challenges big and small.

"If you have any of the above, you can live with the side effects of love," proclaims the title track. I really mean that.

The musical setting revolves around classic rock and adult contemporary, pulling from the musical styles I felt would help move the story along - powerpop, hard rock, ska, punk, adult contemporary and alternative.
