BREAK IT UP! : A classical style musical feature film.
"Set in 1939, Gretchen and Leonard ("Gretch & Leo") are a local small time song, dance, and acting duo who are giving it one last desperate go at success. Although they are barely getting along per their former bickering backstage couple status, they agree to take their show on the road to earn the money and notoriety that would allow them the ability to part ways with each other and finally go solo. Solo on the stage-- and in life.
Their own selfish motives and antics land them on the brink of eliminating each other out of their last hope at making it in to Hollywood's hot ticket of motion picture musicals. Adding to the growing tension between them, they both get introduced to some ill-timed characters along the way with situations that threaten to derail their starry-eyed plans at every stop. Tons of fun and unforgettable performances are in the cards for everyone in this Golden Age era style musical".

Upcoming soundtrack album entitled "Undercover" in true classic golden age of film & radio style from our forthcoming feature film "Break It Up".
Be it my first album of songs I did not compose, the title of this collection (Undercover) is fitting. I’ve always wanted to make an album of songs from an era I’ve romanticized with but of which I’ve never known... in and around the 1930’s. These songs have been some of my favorites since I was young, and more so now as I’ve surpassed the halfway mark of my life. I hope that you’ll enjoy these timeless labors of love culminated from the composers to the instrumentalists to my own and friends’ voices.
Releasing to promote & precede my upcoming 1939-era song & dance movie "Break It Up".
