ABOUT

Me - From the Uk near London originally, been in the states for 6 years. I been playing gigs with bands since I was 17. I took a 10 year hiatus to have a kid :) So now I'm back.
I played in alt rock bands, country bands, celtic rock bands (think pogues/waterboys) - I can lay a good line where needed or rock it up. I am an OK vocalist, but not a good front man though so thats your job. I am great in the studio as well. I worked with some name producers back in the day.

Playing Style- I can play tight with the right group of cats :)
I am a simple player - I play what's good for the song but as melodic as I can get it. I am not into guitar masturbation where I am stepping all over a lead vocal part like a lot of players tend to do. I know where to hang back, but I can give it when needed. We will make your band sound great and polished within no time. I am also great at working on arrangements. I never had any complaints about my playing or musicianship with any bands I played with.
Style of playing would be close to - country- Pete Anderson's baritone guitar lines, James Burton, Johnny Marr, Peter Stroud, The edge, Mark Knopfler, George Harrison's guitar chops,
Contact me if you need a producer or mix engineer as well.

I'm located in Scottsdale, I am up for touring or local stuff, I would prefer payed stuff , but if I'm into what your doing then that's OK as well..
Give me a call or a text if you think we could do something worth while 323 247 1699
