One man and his music:

International Concert Attractions
Potsie is one of those amazing all-rounders who make everything look easy. He sings, he acts, he plays the guitar, he writes songs and he is a great presenter and family man. Potsie's passion is exploring new instruments and writing his own music making him the outstanding choice in a very musically talented cast to present Making Music on Midday Milwaukee.

Sony Music America
Potsie's love of performance, plus his ability to sing, act and play several musical instruments, makes him the archetypal (but never typical) all-rounder. As well as guitar, Potsie's passion is exploring new percussion instruments and writing his own music.

No stranger to television, Potsie, along with son Eddie, is easily recognised from such commercials as KFC's "Hooked on a Feeling" and the Centrelink ad "Youth Allowance". Potsie has also appeared on M*A*S*H and featured in a short film made for the RTA called "A Time to Choose".

His first big-screen appearances are in the movie M*A*S*H and American Graffiti as singing voices.

As well as all-round musical talent, this 44-year-old brings a lively sense of humour to his presentation of the Midday Milwaukee "Making Music" segment. Potsie says: "I taught my son Eddie that there's more to being a kid than just having fun and making noise - it's also about really serious stuff like eating donuts."
