   About Papa Stretch
I just love to perform live and do my thing in the studio as well!!

Ambush, Snaz, King Bridges Road, the Stretch Limo Ride, Trigger Happy, The Blue Room Band, the User Friendly Nuclear Band, the Stretch & Dean Show, Vibez Inc, the Dirty Little Business, and Kathleen & the Vibe Catz for starters, are the groups I'm blessed to play with, passed and present.

I have also been known (somewhat) to host open mics, and perform as a solo acoustic artist, nationally.

I continue to work in various capacities in the Buffalo Area as a session musician utilizing my vocal, percussion, guitar, composing and arranging skills.



For bookings of many styles of music for just about any type of function call "the Stretchline" 716-783-9655
