ABOUT

Guitarist with experience/proficiency in multiple styles (fingerstyle, acoustic, jazz, smooth jazz, pop, rock). I have over 4 decades of experience. Played for 15 years as a professional musician with touring band across the USA. Also experienced in midi production with keyboard and drum modules in home studio environment.

Primarily seeking a keyboardist to collaborate with and perform in a duo-type setting (flexible on number of gigs - anywhere from 1 to 4 times a week). I would be interested in playing some smooth jazz and R&B, but I still enjoy playing quality music in different genres (pop, R&B, class rock, etc.). I would also be interested in collaborating on original material and/or producing arrangements of other artists material.
