There's no grace from which tramps like we can fall
My influences are worn on my sleeve. Compare me. Contrast me. It's all good. My themes evoke a sparkling mess of crushes, tailored shirts, yearnings, cheap beer, pride, faded eye make-up, anger, vintage designer ties, martinis, and a trail of tattered hearts.  I am a fighter who will break a sweat for whatever or whomever I love.

Starring in films that will never be made
I've endured a lifelong on-again/off-again injury-laden romance with theatre. It led me to a successful run starring in HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH (Boston 2002-2003). I've also recently appeared with Ryan Landry's Gold Dust Orphans (CINDERELLA ROCKS); held the title role in Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (the latter, not the former...duh); and toured Europe in THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW (as Riff Raff). A lotta passion and a whole lotta physical math.

Feel the moment and make it real, kid - but don't forget to strike the pose and hit the note on cue

Free from this storm of hands, lips like quicksand, and gravity.
It led to a self-imposed immersion in (exile to?) New York City. I transitioned, I auditioned, and I wrote. I recorded demos and recruited (convinced? coerced? seduced?) musicians I'd previously only dreamed about playing with.  8 million people and I never felt more isolated - all together, all alone? Yet, that city is still beautiful and I will always love it.

Yo, hear us holler from beautiful squalor!
My band is a post-glam rat pack who mix up a stiff cocktail of trash-meets-class. IN A SHAKER: Combine bitter, seen-it-all lyrics with smooth guitars. Shake with bass and simple beats. Serve in a chilled martini glass and garnish with sweet harmonies. After the Oscars, after the Grammys. Did we win? Does it matter? Something once beautiful in its pristine state, surely takes on a new beauty when it begins to fall apart.
