GARY is a seasoned performer who has played the New England coffeehouse circuit since the early 1970's.
His musical influences range from 1960's POP, COUNTRY & BLUEGRASS, THE BLUES, TRADITIONAL FOLK MUSIC from the
UNITED KINGDOM & AMERICA, to CONTEMPORARY SINGER-SONGWRITERS. This diverse background is reflected in his choice of songs,
instrumental accompaniments, as well as in his creative ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS.
Listening to Gary, you may hear a TRADITIONAL IRISH MELODY, a CONTEMPORARY FOLK SONG or a classic BEATLES tune
highlighting his unique musical artistry. The result is more than simply a mix of styles.
It is a fusion - a blend of Traditional, Contemporary & original music. When performing, Gary creates a warm atmosphere
& sense of sharing by combining his sensitivity for the music with a healthy dose of relaxed fun and humor.
Gary, formerly of the critically acclaimed folk-duo, COMPASS ROSE, & more recently with The River Rocks
(a four piece country influeced band based on Boston's North Shore), continues to develop as a singer & songwriter.
Gary has performed in venues throughout New England & New York both as a solo artist and in various band configurations.
