EQUIPMENT

Everything I need to kick some ass with some outstanding musicians along side of me. I've been on the road with Metallica, Slayer, Band of Joy, Megadeath, and many more. Classic bands I've worked with: Styx, Foreigner, Kansas, Grand Funk Railroad, Bad Company, Allman Brothers, Robin Trower, Leon Russell, Edgar Winter, Bto, The Guess Who, The Romantics, and many many more. I am looking to get a real band together and kick some ass down here in Florida. It will happen. Contact me if you think you can handle it. Thanks
