Biography






= Early career

=
Raised in Chicago, Illinois, Goldenberg studied at the Music Conservatory at the Chicago College of Performing Arts and its Chicago Musical College division at Roosevelt University. When the band he was in, Eddie Boy Band, signed a record deal with MCA, Goldenberg moved to California. Though the band broke up, he remained there as a singer-songwriter. In 1976, Goldenberg began playing guitar with Al Stewart.
After playing with Wendy Waldman (who had been Stewart's opening act), Goldenberg started the Cretones with bassist Peter Bernstein and the band went on to record two albums: Thin Red Line and Snap! Snap!. Linda Ronstadt covered three of their songs on her 1980 Mad Love album, and the Cretones served as her backup band for a time. Goldenberg later formed the band Our Town, who recorded one album that was never released. In 1989, he studied guitar with Ted Greene. He also studied classical guitar with Richard Pick and piano and counterpoint with Abe Fraser.
