ABOUT

I'm always looking for new projects to work with. I am also available for fill ins and demos. I mostly enjoy playing good time driving rock, but I'm a very versatile player and open to all styles.

I have been playing for over 35 years. I've played all over Long Island and Manhattan, including CBGB's, Limelight, and L'amours in Brooklyn and Queens.

From 1989 through 1994 I lived in LA and played throughout the area in venues such as Whiskey A Go Go, The Roxy, Troubadour and FM Station while recording demos with Big Shot, The Don Chaffin Band, and my band Vicious Whispers.

Since moving to Tampa in 1994, I've played with various bands and have done shows throughout the area.

2016 shows include opening for The Doobie Brothers, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Southside Johnny & the Jukes, and the Fixx.

2017 shows include a headliner at Wellington Amphitheater in Wellington Fl, appearing with Styx (private function) at the Capital Theater in Clearwater Fl. and an opener for John Waite also in Clearwater. Other shows include Cotee River Bike Fest appearing with Firehouse.

Influences

Although I have never tried to emulate any other bass players, my "style" of playing is more along the lines of guys like Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan, and Geezer Butler to name a few. Other influences of mine are Rocco, Paul McCartney, Jack Bruce, John Paul Jones, Jaco, Victor Wooten and many others.
