Additional Info
From March of 2002 to July of 2007, I fronted the Boston band Oddway. In that time we released two albums, and recorded two unreleased EP’s. We toured the country opening for such acts as, Kyle Cook of Matchbox Twenty, Vince Welnick of The Grateful Dead, The Samples, members of Strangefolk and Percy Hill and many others. Oddway was the grandprize winner for OurStage in April of 2007 for our song Letter. Our music was featured on demos for FOX, ABC, and VH1.
I took every bit of knowledge, every fear, and every experience, good and bad and put them into the songs that would make up “Proper Goodbye”, my debut 5 song EP. Every inhibition that had plagued me in Oddway was gone. Writing with producers Sean McLaughlin (Elliot Smith, Maroon 5) and Brad McCarthy (my favorite guitar player ever) was an incredible experience, which I must say is an understatement. They allowed me the freedom and space to let out every emotion and idea that had been building up inside me. But most of all, they believed in my music and the potential of my songs in their most raw form. For that I thank them.
Since the release of “Proper Goodbye” in October of 2008, the response has been very rewarding. “All This Time”, was voted number one on OurStage.com in the Alternative Country/ Americana category for September 2008 as well as the top ten for October 2008. OurStage also chose me to be apart of their Boston Showcase Night at The Paradise Rock Club on November 29, 2008. April 2009, I was featured on the cover of Boston's Metronome Magazine!
Past Accomplishments: Oddway was the first grand prize winner of OurStage in April 2007 with their song "Letter" in the pop music category. Along with this was a write-up in The Boston Globe, Paste Magazine, etc. Oddway also had a song featured on a CMJ Music Sampler.
