My Resume

 
I'm a Berklee graduate (MP&E, B.M. '92) and currently teach audio production at Emerson College. I've played drums for over 25 years and perform professionally on Cape Cod, MA. I'm available for any type of gig including general business, jazz, rock, blues, country, musical theater, or film scores.


 

Q:What kind of people or opportunities are you hoping to find on Berkleemusic?
A: In general I'm always looking for opportunities to play great music in any situation. In particular I'm hoping to find horn players interested in jazz, funk, and blues.

Q:What have been some important gigs or venues you've played?
A: I've played most of Cape Cods best venues including The Melody Tent, The Chatham Bars Inn, and The Beachcomber. I've also played all of the usual clubs from Dicks Last Resort in Boston to The Squealing Pig in Provincetown. Some of my favorite spots include The Wicked Oyster (wellfleet MA), Liam Maguires (Falmouth, MA), Arturo's (Eastham, MA), The Squealing Pig (Provincetown, MA), The Land-Ho (orleans, MA), The Squire (Chatham, MA).

It took 5 years but I finally sold all 6 hard copies of "Never Don't Change". I'm debating whether to do another 6. I'm grateful to the friends that actually purchased this CD. It means a lot to me. Thank You!

I had the pleasure of recording for Chris LoCascio and Melissa Weidman this weekend. We worked on two great tunes for their next CD project. Chris and Melissa are excellent musicians and great fun to be around and I had a blast with the tunes. Please check out the current CD available at CDbaby, go hear them live and keep an eye out for the new CD.

I've been playing weekly with The Somers-Frost Band and having a great time. We've played Arturo's in Eastham, The Trowbridge Tavern in Bourne, and The Casino Wharf FX in Falmouth. We have dates booked for the summer including two nights on a Cape Cod Canal Sunset Cruise. We're looking forward to a busy summer and some great gigs. Keep an eye on our myspace page for schedule updates.

Steve Morgan and The Kingfish will be in Eastham, MA at the new Cestaro Brothers Restaurant Arturo's. This place is the crown Jewel of music venues in Eastham. Really sweet bar with 16 beers on tap, a stage with killer PA system, lights, plenty of room for dancing and insanely good pizza, bread and pasta!

I was @ Grumpy's Pub in Falmouth last night with Is We Ain't and had a great time with Chris Locascio and Melissa Weidman's "other" band. The quintet bopped, boogied, shuffled and funked with big smiles, rippin solo's, and tasty treats all night long. If you get the chance go check them out and dance your socks off.
