SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Mandolin.ABOUT
I play fiddle and mandolin in a band named Fermata Mafia. I'm also playing in some side projects with a few other local musicians and I run a recording studio called Studio B here in Charlottesville. I'm always looking for other musicians to jam and collaborate with as well as have come record with me. I offer tracking, mixing and mastering services and i also do mobile engineering in order to do on-site recording of live shows and of great sounding halls and venues. I have over 25 years experience playing with 18 of those playing professionally. I compose, perform, produce and record as well as engineer other artists recordings.

Influences
My influences range from classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix to contemporary artists like Allison Krauss and The Carolina Chocolate Drops. I love all different types of music from jazz and funk to folk and bluegrass. I've even been known to blast some dubstep or house if the mood strikes. I'm a student of music from all genres and I feel I exemplify this wide range in tastes in my playing as well as when I produce other musicians.
