About

Guitar / vocals for Cannes Brulees (Native American Roots Rock - original) since 2004 - One CD "Raising Cane" released 2005, second CD "Rekindled" in perpetual post-production. Bass / vocals for 61 South (Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Modern Country - cover) since 2009. Been playing since I was 12, but always as a part-timer. Former bands include Lift, the Instant City Band, and Too Much Coffee featuring Rick Tobey. Always looking for more collaboration. Love to do a Brit Invasion band, also a Roots Rock band, maybe some Swamp Pop. Love to harmonize, too!

Influences

1. Beatles; 2. British Invasion; 3. Roots Rock; 4. New Orleans R&B; 5. Motown. Others include Alice In Chains (go figure!), Allman Brothers, Animals, the Band, Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Byrds, Costello, Cream, Dylan, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Kinks, Led Zep, Lovin' Spoonful, Procol Harum, Rolling Stones, Rundgren, Springsteen, Steely Dan, Traffic, Van Morrison & the Who. I have a very eclectic taste, love the music of lots more than just those.

Equipment List

Guitars: Les Paul Standard, Godin Exit 55, Guild D25M acoustic w/ LR Baggs pickup, Ibanez classical w/ pickup. Bass: Fender Jazz, Gretsch Electromatic.

Plus a Sure SM58 (but no PA) and a suitcase full of hand percussion which I'm not afraid to use.
