In October 1999 he was performing about 20 shows a month, mostly in New Hampshire, When  he returned to Andover for a show in November 1999 he was playing more roots- inspired music.  He has said that his music doesn't fit into a specific category, but he "doesn't really mind what category people stuff him in, as long as they keep listening and he can keep playing." In 2003 he gave a concert in Haverhill to promote his second album ''Longshore Drive'' He said his performance would "sound like Van Morrison, with a lot of soul influences, including Otis Reading and James Brown."
