About
I am an experienced guitarist with solid chops, pro attitude and gear. I've been playing semi-professionally for quite a few years -- mostly classic rock, blues, swing, rockabilly and a touch of country. I don't do metal. I'm serious about being a good performer and working respectfully with my fellow musicians. I'm available for a number of projects including possibly a blues or classic rock band. I do some lead guitar sub work also. I'd also like to do a 3-piece rockabilly combo with upright bass and drums. Lastly, I do solo acoustic guitar playing with vocals.
Influences
On the electric side, some of the people who influenced me include Chuck Berry, Debbie Davies, Hollywood Fats, Duke Robillard, Bloomfield, Clapton, BB King, and Lionel "Link" Chamberlain. On the acoustic side, I do a lot of 60s style fingerpicking and flatpicking -- acoustic blues, Dylan, Paul Simon, Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell and similar.
Equipment List
I have a variety of high quality guitars (electric and acoustic) and amps that can be mixed & matched to fit most playing situations -- everything from vintage hollow bodies and old tweed amps, up to modern gear. I have a Bose L1 PA.
