Level Of Commitment:

I'm a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, and as such I'm the utility player that can add the parts that every song needs to take it to the next level. I'm competant and a quick learner. I've got a versitile voice and can readily sing lead and harmony. Covers or orignals. No drugs. No smoke. No travel. Part-time but pro attitude.

Influences:

From the Beatles to Steely Dan - Lyle Lovett to Delbert McClinton - Ken Navarro to Acoustic Alchemy - Del Amitri to Barenaked Ladies. Music should capture the senses and drive your soul to the deepest essence of the emotion its goal is to convey. Consequently music needs to be as global as the people this world holds in its fragile palm. My first instrument was a Hawaiian Lap Steel Guitar that I embraced at the tender age of 8 years old, but my musical journey only began in the Pacific. My Rocky Mountain high began in grade school where I sang in the church choir and later in high school with the Russian Glee Club. I’ve played lead guitar in a psychedelic rock band and bass guitar in a country group. I purchased my first synthesizer and sequencer years ago and can navigate through the technology of midi and sampling. Never losing my love of pure acoustic delight I learned to play clarinet and tenor sax. From new age to rock and smooth jazz to classical I delight in melody and harmony and try to craft every song so it takes you on an emotional ride with or without lyrics.

Equipment List:

I've got it all from PA systems to multiple amps, guitars, keyboards drums, as well as a complete recording facility etc.
