About Broadway Bound and Beyond
Thirty-three years as a working musician in New York City. Twenty-six of them on Broadway. I’ve played the pit for Memphis, Ain’t Too Proud, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and a dozen rooms in between — and I’ve spent almost as many years watching genuinely talented musicians never make it into any of them.
Not because they couldn’t play. Because nobody ever told them how things actually work.
The problem nobody talks about
Nobody explains how the calls really get made. Nobody tells you why the sub who got hired wasn’t the best player in town, just the one someone remembered to recommend. Nobody hands you the business side of this career — the part that has nothing to do with your chops and everything to do with relationships, reputation, and knowing what actually moves you from “talented” to “hired.”
I spent 26 years learning that side the hard way. This is me handing it to you the easy way.
What you’ll find here
Broadway Bound and Beyond is where I write about the real mechanics of a Broadway career: how hiring actually happens, how subbing works, what separates musicians who get consistent calls from musicians who don’t — and what it takes to build something that lasts once you’re in, not just get through the door once.
Free subscribers get regular essays pulled straight from 26 years inside the industry.

The course
Everything I’ve learned across 26 years is also going into a six-module course. It’s built for musicians who want the complete picture: what actually gets you hired, how the business works behind the curtain, and how to build a career that lasts beyond the pit — not just a single gig.
Who this is for
This isn’t for musicians looking for a shortcut, and it isn’t for people who think talent alone is supposed to be enough. It’s for musicians already serious about their craft who are ready for the part of the education nobody teaches: the business, the relationships, and the moves that actually build a career.
