About

Been playing 6-string guitar for about 20 years, and also play the pedal steel. If you need some pedal steel on one or two (or all) tracks for your upcoming album, hit me up. I play E9 tuning, and have a great ear and sensibility for writing/arranging/adding to songs.

I also sing either lead or harmonizing backup vocals and play bass, drums, piano and Hammond organ. The styles I play in range from psychedelic, surf guitar, alternative/rock, roots reggae, older punk rock, southern rock, alt-country, old-school traditional country, rockabilly/psychobilly and more. Pretty much everything except techno and smooth jazz.

I produced, engineered and played a variety of instruments on the debut album for LA-based twangers the Far West:
