ABOUT

Truly enjoy all types of music. Blues, Jazz, and country are what I listen to the most, but I am pretty versital when it comes to playing. I come from a family of musicians, started playing at age 6. My parents sang in a traveling gospel group so that is where I got started. My brother and sister in-law play in a praise and worship band, my stepson plays guitar and piano and performs locally on weekends. I have played with several bands over the years but work and raising children to priority. THEY ARE GROWN NOW AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK IN TO PLAYING seriously again. Can sing back up and harmony also.
