Sleepyhead and the Native Estates

2010-2012

​

While living on Long Island I played music with a number of different people but while studying at Suffolk County Community College I met and collaborated with a few musicians who changed the course of my growth as a musician. First was a semi-acoustic setup involving Dylan Pagillo, Francesca Brennan, Aaron Charles, and Charlie Buonasera called the Native Estates. We played a number of shows across Long Island and released a small EP of a few songs composed by Dylan.

​

Eventually the group transitioned into Sleepyhead which saw the addition of singer-songwriter Michael Korb on drums. We released a full length album and played across Long Island and New York City. We're obviously no longer active but the album is on Bandcamp and you can purchase it for whatever you want here!
