Influences

My influences started with the likes of Elvis and bands like ELO, Paul Simon, The Jungle Book Soundtrack, and Jazz from the 40's to the 70's. As I got into my pre teens and teen years,I discovered bands like The Police, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, Queen, Bob Marley, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and The Allman Brothers. Later in life and up until even now I draw upon such a wide array of influences, I loves college radio (no real spoon feeding of music from the corporate machines),Mat Kearney, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, U2, Rich Mullens, Marcus Miller, Todd Agnew, Dave Brubeck, Toby Mac, Santana, Jeremy Riddle, Abraham Laboriel, Herbie Handcock, Bebo Norman, Needtobreathe, Muse, The Verve, Coldplay...
