The resulting sound is often considered a mix of Ben Harper and Jimi Hendrix, his vocals reminiscent of Eddie Vedder and Darius Rucker.

1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 The rock opera, "Rabbbits in Delusionville" is a post-factual Animal-Farm-meets-Aesop's-Fables...on LSD. The society that is Delusionville is a picturesque utopia, formed as different animals fell down a rabbbit hole, creating a world with their own mythologies, religion, and politics. Each animal group represents an embedded archetype in the social structure that is about to come into question - a commentary on faux news, stagnation of social mobility, and downright delusional thinking!
Act One – Introduces all of the characters in Delusionville and brings into question the nature of their society and their various places in the social order.
Act Two – The animals get riled up about the economic disparity and social injustice in their previously unquestioned world of delusion.
Act Three – A very unusual take on revolution.
Together they have written and recorded two double CDs. Listen at:
