ABOUT

Drummer, singer, some strumming. Need a regular? Dummer can't make it and need a stand-in? Since age 14, have done records, TV shows, concerts, dingy bars, tuxedo do's, biker brawls. Not looking to impress nor be a star. It's about the groove, listening to your mates, being true to your sound, and above all, loving and respecting your music. Have done everything from lounge music with brushes, reggae, bossa nova, pit orchestra, fusion, blues, Latin, to rock of every era and stripe. Sat in for an injured drummer last fall in Chicago, learned the entire set with a couple of phone calls.
