ABOUT
I have been a musician most of my life. Started as a drummer and vocalist, and later added harmonica and percussion (congas, bongos, hand percussion). My main instrument for the last 40 years has been the harmonica. I don't just play the blues (which is frequently the only genre that people think of, when they think of the harp). I have played in Rock, Alternative, Blues, Acoustic, Original, Funk / R&B, Reggae, and Country Bands. I sing lead and enjoy backup harmony as much as lead.
I sit in frequently with many bands in the Keller/Ft. Worth/Mid-Cities areas. The bands I play with are mostly Rock and Blues, with some funk, reggae and country thrown in there too. I would love to do more acoustic music.
