ABOUT

I am recently re-located from the upper midwest from the Chicago-Milwaukee-Madison area. Have been performing with various groups in sizes from small trios and larger bands including full big bands in a wide range of music from Jazz, Pop, Rock, Country, R&B, Motown and more. Toured in a lounge group in 1982 for 2 years and have been contracted into shows for The Temptations, Four Tops and Bobby Vinton. I can perform as a single with my own produced background tracks doing light instrumental Jazz and American Songbook popular music.
