Syracuse hosts several festivals throughout the summer season and the best of these—without a doubt—is Blues Fest. It's the perfect excuse—on a warm summer evening—to climb on my bike and cruise downtown, hang with friends, have a cold beer, and listen to some great live music.

I've been playing in classical rock and rhythm 'n blues bands most of my life. My current band—The Degenerators—features the best musicians and greatest guys in general that I've ever had the pleasure to perform with. It's this combination of musicianship and personality that makes the whole band experience so rewarding. C'mon out and hear us sometime. Who knows, maybe one of these summers we'll get an opening gig at Blues Fest.
