Moving to Myrtle Beach has been one of the biggest transitions of my life, not only personally but professionally. After decades of performing across the Finger Lakes and Central New York, suddenly relocating to a brand-new scene came with excitement, curiosity, and a fair amount of uncertainty. When you build a music career anywhere, so […]
Week two in Myrtle Beach is officially in the books, and if the rest of this journey continues at this pace, I’m in for one of the most exciting chapters of my musical life. When I packed up and moved here, I hoped things would unfold gradually — that I’d meet people slowly, feel out […]
I didn’t expect my first week in Myrtle Beach to feel like jumping into a river mid-current, but that’s exactly what happened. I arrived with boxes still taped shut, guitars still in their cases, and the faint hum of the long drive still buzzing in my head. I was so excited to be here, I […]

After months—maybe even years—of dreaming and planning, the past weekend marked a major milestone for me and my band, Sunset Salsa. We recorded our debut album. And even though I’ve recorded many times before and spent countless hours in the studio, this one was different. More intense. More exhausting. More fulfilling. And, frankly, more eye-opening […]
