ABOUT

Self taught, I've been playing acoustic (6/12 string) since I was 14, drums since I was 15, bass since 17. Banjo and mandolin are more recent. If you're looking for a musician in one of those genres, look at Influences below first to see what type of music I play on each.

Influences

In order of expertise:

Drums - much more versatile than the other instruments, can do 60's/70's Classic Rock, 70's Yacht Rock, 80's Glam, 90's Alternative Rock.

Acoustic - John Denver to Nick Drake to Paul Simon. Anything, really, if it's acoustic, I'll give it a shot.

Bass - intermediate skill. I can learn a song if told in advance that it'll be done at rehearsal.

Banjo/mandolin - can do basic chords and with a few flourishes here and there.

I'm not stubborn or a snob about what I know - I'm pretty much open to anything and willing to learn songs I don't know.
