current music projects

joe cirotti trio

acoustic string trio - swing, bluegrass, ragtime, americana

I began sitting in with these guys during the summer of 2021, becoming more of a fixture recently.
Joe, on the guitar, and Pete Lister, on the string bass, are both phenomenal players and musicians, and also have an array of cool original songs to offer.
The repertoire includes some old americana favorites, gypsy jazz, ragtime, bluegrass, and some quirky country, prog, and rock covers - all served up in a signature style with tight harmonies.
The trio attracts a variety of guest performances and sit-in's, and sometimes adds drums or percussion when it suits the occasion.

solo/sideman

I do occasionally find the opportunity to play a solo set around the area.
And I sometimes sit in for a set with my good friend, singer/songwriter George Stass, usually in NYC.
I also play on occasion with guitarist Gary Reed, and with singer/songwriter Tom TC Carpenter around northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
I have also been lucky enough to play a few shows alongside a couple of my songwriter heroes:
Todd Sheaffer (Railroad Earth, From Good Homes), and Blake Christiana (Yarn).

With COVID came the advent of livestreaming as a primary form of concert. So, here's links to several of those:

music

guitar | mandolin | vocals

songwriting | composition

I was always surrounded by music in the house growing up. Mom and Dad were "folkies", so I heard Kingston Trio and Gordon Lightfoot as a kid, and my big brother and sister turned me on to the Beatles, Queen, America, and Little Feat. So starting from age 5, when the church folk choir practiced at our house, I pestered until they let me play - tambourine, ukulele, and ultimately guitar - and never let go.

Thru junior high and high school, it was church music, folk, classical, a rock band with friends from school, and late night jazz sessions at 219 Club (thanks, brother Pete). I also started singing, and in high school wound up in the madrigal choir (yup, men in tights) that also took on jazz, pop and classical arrangements.

While attending Ohio University, I dove into blues, rockabilly, and bluegrass, and picked up the mandolin and a bit of string bass along the way. WILLIN' toured regionally, played regularly in the Ohio college-town circuit, and released one album (ok, cassette).

After landing in NYC, I played and recorded with several singer-songwriters, consistently elevating the level of their performances with guitar, mandolin, and harmony vocals.  Having now settled in northwest New Jersey, I took a while to find the rhythm of the scene here, and have been working with bands and singer-songwriters to develop new music.  And, when the opportunity is presented, I perform an occasional solo set, stream, or recording.

I also write original songs, some of which are above, and a few of have made into rotation with JCT. And I have composed and/or recorded instrumental and incidental music for theater and movies.

between hope & the highway:
regina goldy & tim coyle

acoustic americana songwriting duo

I have been writing and developing original songs with Regina. I sing and play guitar and mandolin, while she sings and plays guitar and ukulele.
We have decided to take some time away from performing, to reflect, to create, and to heal our souls. Maybe one day...

aj croix & the devil's right hand band

outlaw country 4-piece

I've been the lefty on the right side of the stage, playing mando and chicken-pickin' on the old Telecaster.
AJ's mix of original songs and covers are all about the flavor of Texas outlaw country songwriting, and as such are a blast to play.

bovine social club

I sang and played guitar and mandolin with Bovine Social Club, playing gigs across the northeast from 2016-2018. In 2017, we released a new live album, "Live At Mauch Chunk Opera House", featuring Tim Carbone, John Skehan, and Andy Goessling as guests.

indigo saige

I played guitar and mandolin for several gigs with the duo of Deb D'Anne and Regina Goldy in 2015-2016.

high road rising

High Road Rising spent the early part of 2015 in the studio recording several tracks with producer Tim Carbone.
"Moriah" is the seven-song record that resulted, and was released on Hobo Records in December, 2015.

video & livestreaming

The course of producing events for many years has led me to absorb and ultimately master many of the video & graphics technologies that work in tandem with audio and lighting for these events. And as a audio technician, I've designed and implemented communications systems on all scales.

Since March of 2020, the landscape has changed, and no more drastically that in the arena of live events. Streaming and "virtual" events were the lion's share of the work for over two years, and continue to be an integral element of current live productions. I have been obsessively learning the skills to work with the new hardware and software solutions, and to integrate these with traditional technologies to create hybrid events.

VMix, OBS, Unity Comms, Streamdeck, Bitfocus Companion, Dante, and many other graphics technologies have to be integrated across the world to produce events that are compelling, and staying up to date with the possibilities has become a full-time job. While some of these requirements are temporary, many of these technologies will remain a part of event production in the future.

audio(visual) system engineering

I have spent the last 30+ years at the console or backstage, in roles ranging from console tech to stage manager to audio mixer (A1), for a wide range of concerts, theater, events, and recorded and live broadcast.  I excel in fast-paced corporate and gala events combining wireless mics, lecterns, and live musical entertainment.

I have mixed industrials and/or galas (recently) for: American Express, Baron Capital, BBC America, Childrens Specialized Hospital, Conservation International, Continental Airlines, Discovery Channel, Doctor Oz, Farmers Insurance, International Emmy Awards, Konica-Minolta, Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, Nestle, Nike, NYU, Peabody Awards, R/GA Agency, Raymour & Flanigan, and Verizon.

acoustical designs & treatments

consulting & specification development

"sound-proofing" techniques & materials

As a natural extension of engineering and design, I am developing an ever-growing knowledge of acoustics, particularly room acoustics and how to design sound systems to work with them.

Acoustical services include analysis, measurement, prediction, and comprehensive reporting.

And since many of my friends think that acoustics means "soundproofing", I have also acquired a significant awareness of techniques and treatments to keep you (or the local bar or nightclub) from annoying the neighbors.
