ABOUT

Experienced player with pro attitude, gear and ethics willing to rehearse to form tight act but also can do back line, casuals and other gigs. I am reliable, honest, sober, have solid transportation, and like to work with similar professionals. I like to take classic rock, blues, light jazz and standards and 'reimagine" them with updated groove (usually funkier and/or more jazzy) and vocal harmonies, thus breathing new life into the old standbys.

Influences

It's unfortunate that BandMix only allows up to 4 genres and I would also include Blues, Lounge, Progressive and a bit of golf in addition to the 4 I've chosen,

My influences range from Beatles to Steely Dan, fun 1-hit wonders to deep 70's R&B, Blue-eyed soul to Jimi Hendrix. I grew up on British Invasion, Early Hard rock (Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin) Cat Stevens, Jeff Beck, Pat Metheny, Wes Montgomery, Tom Waits, Mose Allison, Todd Rundgren, Frank Zappa, Yes, Supertramp, the list goes on.
