I love the fall season in New England. Warm, beautiful days and cool starlit nights. You can almost sense what Van Morrison is talking about in his song "Moondance." Marvelous nights dancing in the moonlight or around the campfire.  Whichever you prefer, these nights are always magical.  The other evening I could distinctly make out the song of a Great Horned Owl calling out across the stillness to his girlfriend, and she would answer.  It really was stirring. With the Autumn nightsongs comes the season of Harvest Festivals.  Connecticut has its share of some of New England's biggest and best, and they are always a blast to attend.  Of course, the music scene here is always top shelf, w/ a mutitude of performers and writers peddling their wares.  On any given night you can find one topnotch act after another somewhere in the tri-state area.  Bean Town's music scene, much like their baseball team, doesn't take a back seat to any other. The great state of Mass. boasts some of the industries finest professional songsmiths and rockers.  From Amherst to Springfield to Boston you can always find a first rate music act in a cozy, refinished, turn of the century theatre.  It's all so good. So much music and so little time to see them all.
 
I am continuing to work diligently on finishing my debut CD with ten new songs in addition to the two already on this site.  I have earmarked early winter for it's completion.  Producer/Director Gary Blu is leading the charge w/ his unique recording styles and keen understanding of the material.  I was tremendously fortunate to be able to inlist the dynamic percussion stylings of Brian Doherty.  Brian has played and recorded w/ some of the industries biggest talent. The Blues Travelers and Elvis Costello are just two of the many big names that Brian has graced w/ his abilities.  He brought a genuine enthusiasm and excitement to each of my new songs.  I can't wait for you all to hear them.  I have the talented Howie Bujese returning for one more session in studio.  Howie is CT's premier fiddle player.  Winning countless awards state wide for his stylings.  I'm also excited to announce that longtime friend and dobro/electric guitar stud Kieth Bartow will be stopping by to lend his unique riffs and energy to this project.  I honestly can't wait!
 
Well that's all for now.  I'll keep you all updated as things progress. I'll be performing at the Redding Coffee House on November 7th with Gary Blu and some other very talented songwriters. Pray everyday for our soldiers and for peace. Love. - nic
