About

I began playing the Classic Rock club scene in 1983 at 18 years old through out Massachusetts. After a decade of Rock I switched directions and jumped into the New Hampshire Blues/R&B scene doing shows and studio sessions for 13 years which included a Blues Fest in New Orleans. Along with the Blues/R&B gigs, in 2003 I hooked up with two Classic Rock bands out of Manchester, NH. which lead to many great shows including the HardRock Cafe in Philly.

In 2008 I joined forces with "Old School" out of Colonial Beach, VA. along with the Fredericksburg Blues Society and Empty Pockets Blues Band which lead to 18 months and many big shows!

Available for session work or **FULL TIME WORKING BAND**

The Mp3's I have put up are OLD recordings with Independent musicians I did session work with. Check them out!
*Wild Flower* by Click Horning was recorded around 2000/2001 during a "private party-jam session". *Warm Cloths* is also Click from the same party. *I Was Thinking* by Mark Gagnon was done in Peabody, MA at Loft Studio. I have no recent recordings, but have other older sessions I will share with any interested band but can only upload these 3 on BandMix.
