I have been the owner of Rothman's Guitars, a dealer of CF Martin and ELI's most complete Vintage Guitars store and have been involved in the Music Scene for the last 30 years, playing with several different bands. Whether it is Folk, Rock, Bluegrass, Jazz or blues, I have been in touch with what music is happening. Bands that I have been with "The Jody Leah Jazz Quartet," "King Scallop and the Oysterettes, "The Park Avenue Blues Band. I have appeared with Crazy Helen and Blues Collar Band and recently have been working with Singer song writer Job Potter and continue to appear regularly with "Southold Slim" Joe Sferlazza. Current projects include the duo Roth and Fuhr men, with David Fuhrmann. I try to follow the music of the East End. We have in the past held open Mics at the store on Satuday afternoons. Getting a nice turn out and have some fun jams going on. Stop in and see what it's all about. I've been active in the music activities during the first Greenport First Night along with several concerts sponsored by The Arts in Southold Town. I have been appearing at both the Cedar Beach Blues Festival in Mount Siani, NY Blues Festival on Long Island and The Riverhead Blues Festival. I have also appeared at Blues 2000(+5), at the Nevele, in the Catskills with the Crazy Helen band.
“Though deeply rooted in the blues, the music has a quality to it that is oh so cooool.....with a jazzy beatnik feel to it.”
