ABOUT
Highly accomplished keyboard player with professional-level equipment. I can play anything from Beethoven to Van Halen, but my current interests focus on 80s Rock. Hard to believe it’s been over 40 years and 80s Rock is now “classic,” eh? I had been in a couple bands during that era, then life, career, and kids took center stage, and now I’m getting back into it after early retirement.
I'm currently enjoying playing with a talented group of people who like to do justice in replicating the classic sounds from the 80s forward to today, and have fun.
